OPINION
IRVINE, Judge.
¶ 1 Appellants Bail Bonds USA and American Contractors Indemnity Company (collectively, the Surety) posted a $25,000 appearance bond for criminal defendant Sylvia Portillo-Corrales ("Portillo-Corrales"). Portillo-Corrales was then released into federal custody, where she remained. Under these circumstances, we conclude that the trial court acted prematurely in forfeiting the bond, and therefore reverse.
