Classic City Bonding Company Classic City appeals from the trial court’s order granting the State’s motion for forfeiture of an appearance bond after the principal failed to appear in court on his arraignment date. Classic City argues that because the State did not serve it with notice of the execution hearing within ten days, as required by OCGA § 17-6-71, the trial court erred in forfeiting the bond. Because the State substantially complied with the notice requirement, we affirm.

The principal in this case was charged with criminal damage to property and entered into an appearance bond for $2,500 with Classic City. The principal failed to appear for arraignment on March 29, 2001. The State filed a motion for bond forfeiture on April 3, 2001, and scire facias was entered on that date scheduling an execution hearing for August 15, 2001. On April 11, 2001, the State served Classic City with notice of the hearing.
