2014 Code of Alabama
Title 15 - CRIMINAL PROCEDURE.
Chapter 13 - BAIL.
Section 15-13-140 - Reasons for default heard at any time, and allowed without costs.
Reasons for default shall be heard by the court on application, at any time when not engaged in other business. When a conditional judgment is set aside for sufficient cause, no cost shall be imposed on the sureties. This provision has no application where money is deposited instead of bail. Sureties may appear before the courts of this state or its subdivisions to answer any "show cause order," conditional or final forfeiture to give any reasons for default, to present any defense to the default, and for any other purpose of informing the courts about information relating to the appearance or non-appearance of the defendant on the bail of which they are surety. If the surety is a professional surety or professional bail company then any agent or representative of the professional surety or bail company may appear for the same purposes.
