WEST VIRGINIA CODE
WVC 62-1C-9
§62-1C-9. Same -- Enforcement.
When a forfeiture has not been set aside, the court or
justice, upon motion of the state, shall enter a judgment of
default and execution may issue thereon:
Provided, That if the
forfeiture is declared in a court of record, the order taking
judgment shall be entered at the same term of court in which the
forfeiture was declared:
And provided further, That if the deposit
for bail be by a person other than the defendant, or if the bail be
in the form of recognizance, such person making the deposit or the
surety on the recognizance shall be given ten days' notice by
certified mail at his last-known address to appear and show cause
why a judgment of default should not be entered. Execution shall
issue in the name of the state and shall proceed in the manner
provided by law in civil actions. If the bail be in the form of
bonds or stocks, the judgment order may direct that all or part
thereof be sold through a state or national bank or through a
brokers exchange registered with the federal securities and
exchange commission.
