PERSONAL BOND PROGRAM Mr. Jack Darrouzet, representing the Travis County Bar Association, appeared before the Council concerning a proposed personal bond program. Under the program, a citizen could be released on his own personal recognizance bond without the necessity of a surety bond. Mr. Darrouzet stated that the University of Texas Law School under Dean Page Keaton had attempted to work out a program with a set policy concerning the use of the personal bond as distinct from the surety bond, and proved that such a system could work. Mr. Darrouzet explained that under the proposed program initial action would be taken by the Judge who would decide if the arrested citizen could be released on a personal bond or a surety bond. The program would provide: (1) a gathering of information concerning the arrested citizen such as his financial and job status, his family situation, and general background. This information would make possible a presentencing and would be referred to when the judge made his decision as to whether or not the man should be out on probation. The accused, if the judge deemed wise, could then make an application for a personal bond. January 4, 1968 =CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS trial.

As to the City's authority to pay for this service, Mr. Darrouzet referred to Article 42.2 section 10 of the Code of Criminal Procedure where a provision is made for an administrative, supervisory, clerical organization necessary to further conduct presentencing investigations. He further stated that the City has legal authority to spend funds necessary to satisfy a corporation purpose. After further discussion, the Council agreed to take the matter under advisement.
