Q: In Palo Pinto, Texas, they posted my bond at $750,000.00 in error which horrified my people for a week. Is that legal?
Yes, it was a typo but it took almost 2 weeks of being posted for the public eyes. Everyone I know suddenly did NOT want to know me and ridiculed me because it made me appear to have done something unthinkable. It should have been $75,000.00. My reputation is destroyed even still today.
A:
While publishing the wrong amount of your bond is not "illegal" it is terrible. Not much you can do now that they have corrected it. What is your charge?
The best way to fix your reputation is to beat your charges.
Good luck!
