OPINION

DROWOTA, Justice.

This case presents the following issue for our determination: whether a cash bond, deposited by the parents of a criminal defendant to ensure the defendant's appearance in court, may be attached to cover fines and costs incurred by the defendant in connection with the prosecution. We hold that the bond may not be so attached, and therefore reverse the judgment of the Court of Criminal Appeals.
