How have courts dealt with a motion to amend the complaint and invalidate the bail bond?

Appellant next argues that multiple amendments to the complaint increased the risk to the surety and invalidated the bail bond. In support of this argument, appellant cites People v. Resolute Ins. Co. (1975) 50 Cal.App.3d 433 (Resolute).³ Resolute involved a defendant who was arrested on a narcotics violation. Bail was posted by a group of sureties.

The original complaint was dismissed, and the bail was ordered transferred to the indictment. However, the clerk did not notify the bail bondsmen of the transfer as expressly required by Penal Code section
