Rule 146 Deposit for Costs

Instead of signing a bond to cover court costs, you can simply pay a set amount of money directly to the court clerk. The judge decides how much money you need to deposit, and that amount can change as the case moves forward.

This option gives you a way to handle court costs upfront with cash rather than going through the process of getting a bond. Either way, the goal is the same: to make sure the court costs get paid.
