Texas Affidavit Surety to Surrender is a legal document used in the state of Texas to guarantee that a surety will surrender an individual who has been arrested on a criminal charge or who has been released on bail. The affidavit is signed by the surety, and in most cases, the surety is the defendant’s family member, friend, employer, or a licensed bail bond agent. It is then presented to the court to ensure that the defendant will appear at all court proceedings. There are two types of Texas Affidavit Surety to Surrender. The first is a Surety to Surrender for Bond, which is used when a defendant has been released on bail and is required to appear in court for all scheduled proceedings. The second is a Surety to Surrender for Arrest, which is used when the defendant has been arrested and is held in custody. Both documents require the surety to guarantee the surrender of the defendant to the court.
