Section 15-13-117 Authorized arrest of defendant by surety and exoneration of bail prior to
conditional forfeiture. The sureties of bail may, at any time before a conditional forfeiture

Section 12-14-71 Appeals from judgments of circuit courts and proceedings thereon. From the
judgment of the circuit court, the municipality, in a case holding invalid an ordinance, or
the defendant in any case, may appeal to the court of criminal appeals in like manner as in
cases of appeals for convictions of violation of the criminal laws of the state. If the appeal

will appear and abide by the judgment of the appellate court; and, failing to give bail, he
must be committed to the municipal jail, but he may give such bail at any time pending the
appeal. When an appeal is taken by the defendant, bail is given pending the appeal and the
judgment of conviction is affirmed or the appeal is dismissed, the defendant is bound by the
undertaking of bail to surrender himself to the municipal authorities within...

Section 15-13-80 Failure of defendant to appear; forfeiture of money deposited in lieu of bail.
(a) The essence of all undertakings of bail, whether upon a warrant, writ of arrest, suspension
of judgment, appeal or in any other case, is the appearance of the defendant at court; and
the undertaking is forfeited by the failure of the defendant to appear, although the offense,
judgment or other matter is incorrectly described in such undertaking, the particular case
or matter to which the undertaking is applicable being made to appear to the court. (b) If,
by reason of the neglect of the defendant to appear, money deposited instead of bail is forfeited
and the forfeiture is not discharged or remitted, the clerk with whom it is deposited must,
at the end of 30 days, unless the court has before that time discharged the forfeiture, pay
over the money deposited to such officer, official or employee authorized by law to receive
fines levied by such court. Thereupon the court shall, without any...

Section 15-13-130 Cash bail - Undertaking of bail: Basis of and when forfeited. The basis of
all undertakings of bail, whether upon a warrant, writ of arrest, suspension of judgment,
writ of error, or in any other case, is to ensure the appearance of the defendant in court,
and the undertaking is forfeited by the failure of the defendant to appear. If, by reason
of the neglect of the defendant to appear, money is deposited as cash bail and is forfeited
and the forfeiture is not discharged or remitted, the clerk with whom it is deposited shall,
at the end of 30 days, unless the court has before that time discharged the forfeiture, pay
over the money deposited to the officer, official, or employee authorized by law to receive
fines levied by the court. The court shall then, without any notice to defendant, render judgment
absolute for the entire sum deposited and the money shall then become public money of the
State General Fund or in bail forfeiture cases pending in the municipal courts...

at the court, from time to time thereafter, as fixed by the court to abide such judgement
as may be entered on the appeal. All proceedings for forfeiture of bail and arrest under this
section shall be had and conducted as is otherwise provided in this code for such proceedings.
