If you are interested, I’d read all the sections. A lot will seem irrelevant. But some of this might be of interest.
FYI, posting bonds can be a bad idea in some places. There are some states that consider action on a bond to be an “insurance” type of suit. And insurance suits often provide for attorney fees if you prevail in forcing the insurance to pay.
Edit: just to clarify, a bond is not what I was talking about in prior response. Cash deposit is what I was suggesting.
If you are ok with sharing your state, I can check for the statute on the process and link it. No biggie if not.
I unfortunately live in NY, but I don't plan on being here much longer.
