What should I do if I receive a Demand Letter for a civil case?
A bond forfeiture occurs when a person is required to be in court on either a personal bond or a surety bond and fails to appear, thus revoking the previous personal bond or surety bond. The County Attorney files civil suits against defendant who fail to appear in court. The civil bond forfeiture case is a case separate from the criminal case.
