Mo. R. Civ. P. 81.10
As amended through October 1, 2024
If the notice of appeal has not been filed, a bond may be filed with the permission of the trial court. After the notice of appeal is filed, the application to file a bond may be made only in the appellate court. The appellate court may in its discretion decline to grant the application, issue a stay upon such terms with respect to a supersedeas bond as may be appropriate, or remand to the trial court for a determination in accordance with Rule 81.09. The bond or other security shall be filed in the trial court and the sureties therein shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the trial and appellate court.
