        SERVER FEES CAN BE ASSIGNED AND REFERRED
          TO COUNTY BEFORE PAYMENT IS RECORDED
     
     
          Effective December 20, 1996, when you enter a Civil,
     Landlord/Tenant, or Out-of-District Execution case, you will be able
     to record the server fees before you enter the miscellaneous
     payment.  After you record the case entry and the remitter in these
     three types of case, the Server Fees Entry screen will display.  You
     need to record Server Fee amount, and you may assign server fees, or
     refer the server to the County before you take the payment.  Then,
     when you reach the Miscellaneous Payment Entry screen, you will see
     the "Serving Cost" amount already filled in for you; however, you
     still have to record the Constable Education amount.  (If your case
     does not require server fees, you may press ENTER to bypass the
     Server Fee Entry Screen.) 
     
     
     ADDED INFORMATION ON NOTICE OF BAIL FORFEITURE
     
          The Notice of Bail Forfeiture (Form AOPC 414A3-96) has been
     modified to show additional information.  The form will now show the
     security type for each surety that posted bail on the case.  The
     form will display up to five security types that can be used by the
     surety(ies) to post bail.  Another change to the Notice of Bail
     Forfeiture form is the addition of three statements with check
     boxes.   The statements apply to straight bail, or cash percentage
     bail, or unsecured bail.  Now, the system will display an X within
     the check box of the applicable statement and fill in the
     appropriate amount.
     
     For Straight bail:
     
     "A monetary condition of bail has been set and posted in the above
     captioned case in the amount of $XXXX.XX."
     
     For Unsecured bail:
     
     "The defendant has been released on unsecured bond in the amount of
     $XXXX.XX and may be liable for the full amount of $XXXX.XX."
     
     For Percentage Cash bail:
     
     "A monetary condition of bail has been set at $XXXX.XX/XX%. 
     $XXXX.XX has been posted."

     District Justice Automated Office Clerical Procedures Manual (new

                 NUMBER OF BAIL BOND COPIES
          When you answer how many bail bond copies you want, you  will
     now receive the number of copies requested.  Until now, an
     additional file copy would print.
