§ 16-4-112 — Enforcement when forfeiture not set aside

Colorado § 16-4-112

• Jurisdiction: Colorado
• Title 16: Criminal
• Art.: Release from Custody Pending

Text

By entering into a
bond, each obligor, whether he or she is the principal or a surety, submits to the
jurisdiction of the court. His or her liability under the bond may be enforced, without
the necessity of an independent action, as follows: The court shall order the
issuance of a citation directed to the obligor to show cause, if any there be, why
judgment should not be entered against him or her forthwith and execution issue
thereon. Said citation may be served personally or by certified mail upon the obligor
directed to the address given in the bond. Hearing on the citation shall be held not
less than twenty-one days after service. The defendant's attorney and the
prosecuting attorney shall be given notice of the hearing. At the conclusion of the
hearing, the court may enter a judgment for the state and against the obligor, and
execution shall issue thereon as on other judgments. The district attorney shall
have execution issued forthwith upon the judgment and deliver it to the sheriff to
be executed by levy upon the stocks, bond, or real estate which has been accepted
as security for the bond.
