Article XXII, Section 19, of the Constitution for the State of New Mexico, and New Mexico Statutes require State officers under oath pursuant to Article XX, Section 1, of that Constitution, to be covered with an individual corporate surety bond before entering upon the discharge of the duties of the office; such bond(s) shall be recorded and filed in the Office of the Secretary of State.
Delivery, and filing of such bond in said office is the
responsibility of the person bonded, and for the purpose of
perfecting title to the office claimed.
[[[[ It is well settled that, (1) filing of such bond is a
requirement of office; (2) filing of such a bond is a requirement to qualify for the office; (3) a failure, or neglect to deliver and file such a bond creates a vacancy within the office ipso facto; so say the courts repeatedly through abundant case law on the matter. ]]]]
New Mexico Statutes Annotated (NMSA) 10-2- 9, in the office of the Secretary of State, a corporate surety bond in his name to have perfected title to the office claimed; he has suffered a forfeiture of office thereby, and is not vested with the lawful authority of the office.
