Proceedings against a Surety

Whenever these rules require or allow a party to give security, and security is given through a bond or other undertaking with one or more sureties, each surety submits to the chancery court’s jurisdiction and irrevocably appoints the chancery court clerk as its agent for receiving service of any papers that affect its liability on the bond or undertaking. The surety’s liability may be enforced on motion without an independent action. The motion and any notice that the chancery court orders may be served on the chancery court clerk, who must promptly mail a copy of each to every surety whose address is known.
