Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Clare A. Zanger, White House, Tennessee, for the appellant, Bail U Out Bonding.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Ryan A. Dugan, Assistant Attorney General; Lawrence Ray Whitley, District Attorney General; and Tara Wyllie, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): HOLLOWAY

When Daniel Barillas failed to appear for a scheduled court appearance, the trial court entered a conditional forfeiture against Mr. Barillas and Bail U Out Bonding (“Bail U Out”). Bail U Out moved for exoneration of the bail bond, claiming that Mr. Barillas had been deported. Following a hearing, the trial court ordered forfeiture of the full amount of the bond. After a thorough review, we determine that the trial court did not abuse its discretion and affirm the judgment.
