Cal. Civ. Code § 2792 — Creation of Suretyship is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.

Where a suretyship obligation is entered into at the same time with the original obligation, or with the acceptance of the latter by the creditor, and forms with that obligation a part of the consideration to him, no other consideration need exist. In all other cases there must be a consideration distinct from that of the original obligation.
