Validity; bound to full extent; action on defective bond
Sec. 11. No surety bond entered into under the provisions of this
article shall be void for want of form or substance or recital or
condition nor the principal or surety be discharged, but the principal
and surety shall be bound by such bond to the full extent
contemplated by the law requiring the same and the sureties to the
amount specified in the bond. In all actions on a defective bond the
plaintiff or relator may suggest the defect in his complaint and
recover to the same extent as if such bond complied with the law
requiring the same.
