The Honorable Vince Ryan - Page 3 (GA-0773) Your final question is whether the clerk may accept an assignment once the court has ordered the refund to the defendant. Once the cash bail bond funds have been refunded to the defendant according to the court's order, article 17.02 does not preclude the clerk from accepting the funds to pay fines and costs. We do not opine about the form of the transaction or transactions that may be utilized to refund the deposit to the defendant and to effectuate a transfer of the funds to pay fines and costs.
