Art. 45.0425. APPEAL BOND. (a) If the court from whose
judgment and sentence the appeal is taken is in session, the court
must approve the bail. The amount of a bail bond may not be less
than two times the amount of the fine and costs adjudged against the
defendant, payable to the State of Texas. The bail may not in any
case be for a sum less than $50. If the appeal bond otherwise meets
the requirements of this code, the court without requiring a court
appearance by the defendant shall approve the appeal bond in the
amount the court under Article 27.14(b) notified the defendant
would be approved.
(b) An appeal bond shall recite that in the cause the
defendant was convicted and has appealed and be conditioned that
the defendant shall make the defendant's personal appearance before
the court to which the appeal is taken instanter, if the court is in
session, or, if the court is not in session, at its next regular
term, stating the time and place of that session, and there remain
from day to day and term to term, and answer in the cause in the
court.
