You must file a cash bond before taking your case to an appellate court.
When appealing a Municipal Court case you need to file a cash appeal bond. The appeal bond must be at least $100.00 or double the amount of the fine and costs assessed in your case, whichever is greater.
Cash Appeal Bonds
A cash appeal bond is one where you deposit the bond amount (at least $100.00 or double the amount of the fine and costs assessed in your case, whichever is greater) with the court. If you fail to bring your case before the appellate court, the amount may be forfeited. If you do bring your case before the appellate court, the money may be released back to you dependent on the outcome of your appeal.
