Bail sureties gain release after deportation

A bail surety is a person or company that guarantees a defendant’s bail. Louisiana law fully and finally releases the surety from all bail obligations once the court finds the defendant was deported. The surety can file proof with the court clerk before the defendant misses court. It can also file within 180 days after notice of the arrest warrant is sent. If proof cannot be obtained, the surety or court can start a hearing to establish deportation, with both sides heard.
