Plain-English Summary
Section 753 backs up the bonding requirement in Section 752 with real consequences. Any attachment or execution issued to, or levied by, someone who isn't a bonded officer is void and has no effect.
The people responsible for that failure don't escape liability. The court clerk or judge who issued the process, or the officer who carried out the levy, along with their bondsmen, answer for any damage the improper attachment or execution causes.
