577 So.2d 784 (1991)

STATE of Louisiana, Appellee, v. Kenneth R. BROWN and Indiana Lumberman's Mutual Insurance Company, Appellant.

Court of Appeal of Louisiana, Second Circuit.

April 3, 1991.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Michael E. Lancaster, Asst. Dist. Atty., Tallulah, for appellee.

Graymond F. Martin, New Orleans, for appellant, Indiana Lumberman's Mut. Ins. Co.

Before NORRIS, HIGHTOWER and VICTORY, JJ.


NORRIS, Judge.

The surety, Indiana Lumberman's Mutual Insurance ("Indiana"), appeals the trial court's refusal to set aside a judgment of bond forfeiture. We conclude the trial court erred in not finding that the state failed to comply with statutory provisions necessary to hold Indiana to its bond obligation. We therefore reverse, set aside the judgment of bond forfeiture and render judgment absolving Indiana of its bond obligation.
