NRS176A.340. Procedure when surety not exonerated; enforcement of liability; remission of judgment of default.

      1.  If the surety is not exonerated and the forfeiture of the surety bond is not set aside:

      (a) The court shall enter a judgment of default and execution may issue thereon; and

      (b) The surety shall pay a penalty for the revocation of the program of probation to the court in an amount equal to one-half of the annual fee for the bond that the surety charged the probationer.

      2.  By entering into a bond the surety submits to the jurisdiction of the court and irrevocably appoints the clerk of the court as its agent upon whom any papers affecting its liability may be served. The liability may be enforced on motion and such notice of the motion as the court prescribes may be served on the clerk of the court, who shall mail copies to the surety to its last known address.

      3.  After entry of a judgment of default, the court shall not remit it in whole or in part unless the conditions applying to exonerating the surety and setting aside the forfeiture of the surety bond set forth in NRS 176A.330 are met.
