The appropriate prosecuting authority is responsible. In state cases, it would generally be the attorney for the county in which the crime took place. These offices have different names depending upon the state: state's attorney, county attorney, state attorney, district attorney. Regardless of the name, the office is the principal prosecutor for crimes committed in that county. In some instances, though usually rare, the State Attorney General has the authority. If the crime is federal, then the US attorney for the district in which the crime took place would be responsible for the prosecution. For information on how a prosecution proceeds, see the related links below.

That is why bond agencies try to find the defendant and bring him to jail before the bond forfeiture hearing, so they do not have to pay the courts the amount of the bond. Bond companies pay the courts in CASH regardless of what type of collateral was used for the bond.
