Missouri Bail Bond Association Dissolved

According to the Missouri Secretary of State, the Missouri Professional Bail Bond Association, Inc., has been dissolved. Notification was sent to MPBBA in March notifying them of failing to file the required annual reports. As of May 31 the Secretary of State's office notified MPBBA that they "may not carry on any business except that necessary to wind up and liquidate its business and affairs."

According to the last reports filed by MPBBA, the primary address for the association is Virgil Lee Jackson's office. Jackson has been in federal custody since last fall, after he was arrested in the plot to murder competitor Gerald Cox. The filings show Jackson as the only listed board member, while his brother, Bill Jackson, serves as treasurer.

MPBBA has been very active in recent years in state legislative process. Jackson and the association passed legislation in 2004 which inserted a clause allowing convicted felons to be licensed if the felonies had not been committed within the past 15 years.

After Jackson's arrest, MPBBA removed his membership data from their website, but did not amend their corporate filings with the Secretary of State.

Glen Dotson, who was arrested in the murder plot last week, is also an association member.
