Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

It is likely that the defendant did not appear in court when directed to do so and that if nothing is heard as a reason or explanation, the defendant's bond will be forfeited in 5 days. If the bond was made by a surety or bail bondsman, they will have to pay the bond amount to the Court. If the bond was posted in cash, the cash will be forfeited to the Court. In either event a new warrant will issue for the defendant.
