"Surety bonds shall comply with the requirements of Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Article 17.08 and be in compliance with any forms promulgated by the Matagorda County Bail Bond Board (MCBBB). No surety bond will be accepted by the Court if the surety is not licensed by the MCBBB." … "Personal bonds must comply with the requirements of Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Article 17.04 and be in compliance with any forms promulgated by the MCBBB and/or the Court." … "Attorney bonds are governed by section 1704.163 of the Occupations Code. No attorney bond will be accepted by the Court unless all the following documents required by the MCBBB and the court are submitted to the Sheriff before execution of bond or acting as surety: A. Attorney Bail Bond Affirmation; B. Notice of Appearance as Counsel of Record for all cases the attorney acts as surety; C. Motion to Substitute Counsel of Record (applicable if an attorney has already been appointed for the principal). The Sheriff's Department shall forward copies of all documents listed above to the Office of the District Attorney and Office of the Local Administrative Judge within the first business day following the execution of bond by the attorney. … An attorney's privilege to execute bonds in Matagorda County may be revoked for failure to follow this standing order and/or the rules of the MCBBB."
