• Art. 25.5: SPECIAL PROCEEDINGS: HABEAS CORPUS
• Ch. 6: Emergency Warrant

Text

Whenever it appears by affidavit that a
person is illegally held in custody or restraint and there is good reason
to believe that the applicant:
(1) will be carried out of the jurisdiction of the court or judge
before whom the application is made; or
(2) will suffer some irreparable injury before compliance with the
writ can be enforced;
the court or judge may cause a warrant to be issued, reciting the facts
and directed to the sheriff or any constable of the county, commanding
the sheriff or constable to take the restrained person and immediately
bring the person before the court or judge, to be dealt with according
to law.
