    19-2924.  SURRENDER OF DEFENDANT BY BAIL. At any time before the
forfeiture of their undertaking, the bail may surrender the defendant in their
exoneration, or he may surrender himself to the officer in whose custody he
was committed at the time of giving bail, or to the county sheriff where the
action is pending, in the following manner:
    1.  A certificate of surrender, executed by the bail, must be delivered to
the officer, who must also attach thereto his signature, the month, day, year
and time of day as evidence of surrender and detain the defendant in his
custody thereon as upon a commitment. The  certificate of surrender shall
contain the legal caption of the action in which the undertaking was given,
including the name of the defendant, case number, name and address of the
bail, and shall clearly state that the bond is being revoked by the bail.
    2.  The bail or bail bondsman shall, the next judicial day, file with the
court in which the action or appeal is pending the certificate of surrender,
and shall deliver a copy of the same to the county prosecuting attorney. The
court shall thereupon order that the bail be exonerated.
