It is also known as an appellate bond and is typically issued by a state or local court in order to allow the defendant to be released from jail while they are waiting to appear before the Court of Criminal Appeals to contest their conviction. The bond is designed to ensure that the defendant will appear at the appointed time and place to face the charges against them.
