§ 1355 Deposit or security costs not required for initial application - Payment of court costs required.

If you're asking a court for a writ of habeas corpus for the first time, you don't have to pay any money upfront or put down a deposit just to file your request. This means you can ask the court to review whether you're being held or detained legally without needing extra cash on hand right away.

That said, you will still need to pay court costs at some point. These costs are handled through the process laid out in a separate law, Section 566.3 of Title 57. So while you won't face a roadblock at the start of your case, you should expect to pay standard court fees later on, following that specific procedure.
