conditioned as required by law, in the sum of $55,019 plus all expenses that may be incurred by
peace officers in rearresting relator in the event that relator fails to appear at the hearing before
this Court or violates some other condition of the bond. Any such bond shall be made payable to
the child support obligee and is subject to being forfeited as credit to any child support arrearage,
notwithstanding the outcome of this original proceeding.
In the event that relator Jeffrey Clark gives such bond, the Sheriff of Collin County is
ORDERED to immediately forward a certified copy of the bond to the Clerk of this Court. This
order releases relator Jeffrey Clark only from custody under the January 17, 2013 "docket entry

Interest of Kyle Thomas Clark A Child. In the event relator gives such bond, relator Jeffrey
