DISCHARGE - SURRENDER When a bail desires to surrender his principal, he may procure a copy of the recognizance from the clerk, by virtue of which the bail, or any person authorized by him, may take the principal in any county within this state. � 544. 600 RSMO

� 544. 600. When a bail desires to surrender his principal, he may procure a copy of the recognizance from the clerk, by virtue of which the bail, or any person authorized by him, may take the principal in any county within this state. � The peace officer shall take the principal into custody and acknowledge acceptance of the principal in writing.
BOND PROCESS � The distinction between bond forfeiture and judgment on the forfeiture is a long observed one under Missouri law. The court's mere noting of the forfeiture is not the final determination of the liability of the defendant and his surety; rather, it is the preliminary step to the issuance of the judgment on the forfeiture.
Bond Forfeiture
Bond Forfeiture Process Bond Forfeiture is a two-step process. First, the court enters an order of forfeiture when the bond is breached. Breach of the bond occurs when the defendant fails to report in court as required and the court enters that fact of record. � Second, after the breach of the bond, the court must give notice to the parties and allow the surety an opportunity to show good cause why judgment should not be entered on the forfeiture. �
Procedure �Forfeiture Declared – ○ Motion for Judgment on Forfeiture ○ Notice of Hearing on Motion for Judgment �To Surety and Defendant ○ Reasonable Time for Notice of Hearing �And Surrender of Principal Forfeiture Set Aside �Final Judgment �Judgment Set Aside
Forfeiture Set Aside � Incarcerated within the United States � 374. 770 RSMO �Supply proof prior to judgment ○ Vine link ○ Letter of Incarceration (LOI) �Incarcerated after forfeiture - YES �Incarceration need not be at time of bond forfeiture. ○ State v. Head (App. W. D. 1991) 804 S. W. 2 d 833. ○ (any time prior to judgment)
TIMELY SURRENDER � Rule 37. 25 �Prior to Judgment ( or soon thereafter) �Responsible for all fees and costs ○ Transportation costs from another jail ○ Other expenses.
Costs and Expenses � Under Missouri law, the bailor at any time before final judgment against him upon a forfeited recognizance, may surrender his principal in open court or to the sheriff; and upon the payment of all costs occasioned by the forfeiture, and all costs that may accrue at the term to which the prisoner was recognized to appear, may thereupon be discharged from any further liability upon the recognizance. Section 544. 610; see also Rule 33. 13. and 37. 25
Set Aside Forfeiture � Rules 37. 26 and 33. 14 � The court may direct that a forfeiture be set aside upon such conditions as the court may impose, if it appears that justice does not require the enforcement of the forfeiture. � Deported – not in custody but justice requires.
Bond Exonerated � Rules 37. 27 and 33. 15 � When the conditions of the bond have been satisfied the court shall release the obligors. � When a forfeiture of the bond is set aside, the court may release the obligors.
BOND EXONERATED � Any surety may be released upon depositing cash in the amount of the bond or by a timely surrender of the defendant.
Forfeiture to Judgment � The order of forfeiture is interlocutory (provisional) and must be reduced to judgment to be enforceable. State v. Wynne, 181 S. W. 2 d 781, 783 (Mo. App. 1944).
Rule 33. 14 � When a forfeiture has not been set aside, the court shall on motion enter a judgment of default and execution may issue thereon. By entering into a bond the obligors submit to the jurisdiction of the court in which the defendant is required to appear and irrevocably appoint the clerk of the court as their agent upon whom any papers affecting their liability may be served. Their liability may be enforced on motion without the necessity of an independent action. The motion and such notice of the hearing as the court prescribes may be served on the clerk of the court, who shall forthwith mail a copy to each of the obligors.
� Obligors, by entering a bond, submit to the jurisdiction of the court in which the accused is required to appear and irrevocably appoint the clerk as their agent for service of process. Rules 33. 14 and 37. 26. � Thus, the clerk shall mail the prosecutor's motion for judgment on the bond and the notice of hearing to each obligor.
Bond Judgment
Final Judgment � It has long been recognized that an action to enforce a forfeiture on a bond is in the nature of a civil action. � Therefore, the trial court under Rule 75. 01, retains control over the judgment for 30 days and may vacate, reopen, correct, amend, or modify the forfeiture within that time upon a showing of good cause.
Set Aside Judgment � Where a surety brings a defendant's surrender and incarceration to the attention of the court within 30 days after it entered its judgment, unless appeal is taken or the court is otherwise deprived of jurisdiction earlier, the court has the authority to modify its earlier judgment and set aside a portion of the forfeiture. State v. Goodrich, 12 S. W. 3 d 770, 776, fn. 2 (Mo. App. W. D. 2000).
State vs. Atkins, Mo. App. 2015 � The trial court erred and abused its discretion in denying Surety's motion to set aside the default judgment given that Surety presented sufficient evidence that it located, apprehended, and surrendered the defendant within 30 days of the trial court's entry of final judgment of forfeiture. State vs. Atkins, 470 S. W. 3 d 789 (Mo. App. E. D. , 2015)
479. 210 RSMO – BOND JUDGMENTS � In case of a breach of any recognizance entered into before a municipal judge or an associate circuit judge hearing a municipal ordinance violation case, the same shall be deemed forfeited and the judge shall cause the same to be prosecuted against the principal and surety, or either of them, in the name of the municipality as plaintiff. � Such action shall be prosecuted before a circuit judge or associate circuit judge, and in the event of cases caused to be prosecuted by a municipal judge, such shall be on the transcript of the proceedings before the municipal judge.
Judgment of Default � On the date set for hearing on the motion for judgment on the bond, if the forfeiture has not been set aside previously, the court may enter a judgment of default on the bond and execution may be issued to enforce that judgment. Rule 37. 26. �Default on the bond. � This proceeding was historically known as a writ of scire facias. See Section 544. 640.
Enforcement of Judgments In most judicial circuit, the presiding judge or the judge’s designee maintains a list of sureties authorized to write bonds within the circuit. � If a judge has ordered a bond forfeited, has entered a judgment on it, and if the judgment remains unsatisfied for any appreciable period of time, the judge or clerk should notify the presiding judge of the circuit. The presiding judge may then remove that surety from the list of approved sureties to do business in the circuit. � Usually, merely advising the surety that such steps are about to be undertaken will bring immediate satisfaction of the judgment. �

If any final judgment ordering forfeiture of a defendant's bond is not paid within a six-month period of time, the court shall extend the judgment date or notify the department of the failure to satisfy such judgment. The director shall draw upon the assets of the surety, remit the sum to the court, and obtain a receipt of such sum from the court. � 2. The department shall furnish to the presiding judge of each circuit court of this state, on at least a monthly basis, a list of all duly licensed and qualified bail bond agents and general bail bond agents whose licenses are not subject to pending suspension or revocation proceedings, and who are not subject to unsatisfied bond forfeiture judgments.
