If this is in Stephenville, I suggest you give Landon Northcutt a call. I have seen his work. He seems like a stand up lawyer. Ask him how to proceed in Stephenville.
Yes!! Contact the Court directly and GET A NEW LAWYER and a NEW BONDSMAN, asap (and not necessarily in that Order).
They tried to do an affidavit of surrender, which is REALLY C*****n S**t, since they told you to stay away from court (a law AND an ethical violation) in the first place. Make sure the court knows that, if they really did tell you to stay away, and said it just like that.

A misdemeanor bond jumping is a misdemeanor. A felony bond jumping is a felony. Yes, this guy is trying to surrender the bond and get you arrested. Call a new bondsman and definitely hire a defense attorney to represent you.
