1. WYOMING COURT RULES ANNOTATED WYOMING RULES OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURE Rule 46. Release from custody.
Wyoming’s statutes are very limited as to the bail bonding business.
Wyoming does not appear to having any licensing requirements for bail agents at this time, nor is there any legislation pending on this subject.
1. WYOMING COURT RULES ANNOTATED WYOMING RULES OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURE Rule 46. Release from custody.
- (f) Forfeiture of bail.
(A) Declaration – If there is a breach of condition of a bond, the court shall declare a forfeiture of the bail.
(B) Enforcement – When a forfeiture has not been set aside, the court shall on motion enter a judgment of default and execution may issue thereon. By entering into a bond, the obligors submit to the jurisdiction of the court and irrevocably appoint the clerk of the court as their agent upon whom any papers affecting their liability may be served. The obligors’ liability may be enforced on motion without the necessity of an independent action. The motion and such notice of the motion as the court prescribes may be served on the clerk of the court, who shall forthwith mail copies to the obligors to their last known addresses.

- Defendant filed motion to have that portion of bond which had been previously forfeited remitted to him after dismissal of criminal charge. The District Court of Crook County, Rodney M.

The Supreme Court held that trial court which had forfeited portion of defendant’s bond when defendant was incarcerated in South Dakota and did not appear to answer to charge of breaking and entering did not abuse its discretion in refusing to remit forfeited portion of bond after charge of breaking and entering had been dismissed on ground that trial had been passed for four terms of court. Affirmed.
