WHO, WHAT, HOW, WHY, WHEN and WHERE BOND CONDITIONS WHO, WHAT, HOW, WHY, WHEN and WHERE HON. MARC H. NEWMAN JUSTICE OF THE PEACE WICHITA COUNTY (940)592-9388 MARC.NEWMAN@CO.WICHITA.TX.US

OBJECTIVES TO REVIEW WITH MAGISTRATES THE STATUTORY PROVISIONS OF CCP CHAPTER 17 CONCERNING BOND CONDITIONS TO DISCUSS EXISTING CASE PRECIDENT TO FAMILIARIZE MAGISTRATES WITH THE USES AND BENEFITS OF BOND CONDITIONS TO EXPLORE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CREATIVE CONDITIONS AND ABUSE OF DISCRETION TO ASSIST MAGISTRATES IN ESTABLISHING WORKABLE SYSTEMS OF ISSUANCE AND MANAGEMENT

WHO HAS AUTHORITY TO ISSUE A MAGISTRATE OR THE MAGISTRATE Art. 17.40. CONDITIONS RELATED TO VICTIM OR COMMUNITY SAFETY. (a) To secure a defendant's attendance at trial, a magistrate may impose any reasonable condition of bond related to the safety of a victim of the alleged offense or to the safety of the community.

DOES THIS GIVE TRIAL COURTS, JUDGES, OR OTHER OFFICERS THE AUTHORITY TO ISSUE OR MODIFY BOND CONDITIONS? THIS IS NOT WELL SETTLED. THE STATUTES REFER TO MAGISTRATES BUT CASE LAW FREQUENTLY SUBSTITUTES “TRIAL COURT JUDGE”. WE SHOULD NOT BE OVERLY CONCERNED SO LONG AS THE MATTER IS PROPERLY BEFORE THE JUDGE SEEKING TO MODIFY.

Art. 17.38. RULES APPLICABLE TO ALL CASES OF BAIL. The rules in this Chapter respecting bail are applicable to all such undertakings when entered into in the course of a criminal action, whether before or after an indictment, in every case where authority is given to any court, judge, magistrate, or other officer, to require bail of a person accused of an offense, or of a witness in a criminal action.

Art. 17.09. DURATION; ORIGINAL AND SUBSEQUENT PROCEEDINGS; NEW BAIL Sec. 3. Provided that whenever, during the course of the action, the judge or magistrate in whose court such action is pending finds that the bond is defective, excessive or insufficient in amount, or that the sureties, if any, are not acceptable, or for any other good and sufficient cause, such judge or magistrate may, either in term-time or in vacation, order the accused to be rearrested, and require the accused to give another bond in such amount as the judge or magistrate may deem proper. When such bond is so given and approved, the defendant shall be released from custody.

EX PARTE David Clear No. 59288 COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF TEXAS 573 S.W.2d 224 November 1, 1978 PROCEDURAL POSTURE: Relator filed an application for writ of habeas corpus and alleged that a judge of a Harris County District Court (Texas), illegally assumed jurisdiction as a magistrate of a felony complaint filed against him and unlawfully raised his bond. IN THE 185TH DISTRICT COURT OF HARRIS COUNTY, TEXAS, MAY TERM, A.D. 1978 "I, George L. Walker, Judge of the 185th District Court of Harris County, Texas, hereby assume jurisdiction of the above-numbered and styled pre-assigned felony complaint case and hereby direct the District Clerk to issue appropriate process for the confinement of the defendant on the bond revocation ordered by this Court on this date. OUTCOME: Writ of habeas corpus was issued and the district court's order was vacated. The district court judge exceeded his jurisdiction when he presided as magistrate over the complaint issued against relator in the justice court and when he increased relator's bail.

WHO – MAY MODIFY? THE JUDGE OR MAGISTRATE OF THE COURT WHERE THE CASE IS FILED/PENDING. THE JUDGE OF A COURT WITH TRIAL JURISDICTION, BUT ONLY AFTER THE CASE IS PROPERLY BEFORE THAT COURT (BY INFORMATION OR INDICTMENT); OR, THE JUDGE OF A COURT WITH TRIAL JURISDICTION IF THE CASE IS BROUGHT BY WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS.

WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS PRETRIAL HABEAS CORPUS IS CLASSED AS AN “EXTRORDINARY” REMEDY, AND THE MATTERS THAT MAY BE ADDRESSED ARE NARROW. GENERALLY THE ISSUES ARE LIMITED TO SHOWING THAT SOME CIRCUMSTANCE BARS THE STATE FROM PROSECUTING, OR THAT THE DEFENDANT IS BEING EXCESSIVELY OR IMPROPERLY/ILLEGALLY RESTRAINED. THIS CAN INCLUDE CONDITIONS OF BOND. A DEFENDANT OUT ON BOND IS STILL CONSIDERED “RESTRAINED”

WRIT (CON’T) A defendant’s appeal is restricted to situations where the trial court held a hearing on the merits and denied relief. No appeal can be taken from the trial court’s refusal to issue a writ or grant a hearing. If the writ is issued, the accused is no longer being held under the original bond, but under the jurisdiction of the issuing court. At the conclusion of a hearing on the writ, the issuing court must either discharge, commit or admit the defendant to bond. We assume that conditions may be attached to the bond.

WHO – MONITORS AND ENFORCES COMPLIANCE? THE MAGISTRATE OR JUDGE OF THE COURT IN WHICH THE CRIMINAL ACTION IS PENDING OR THE CLERKS OF THAT COURT. AN APPROPRIATE AGENCY DESIGNATED BY THE ISSUING MAGISTRATE. A COST MAY BE ASSESSED. THE MONITOR MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION REGARDING COMPLIANCE FROM LAW ENFORCEMENT, JAIL STAFF, TESTING LABS, RELATIVES, STATE OR DEFENSE ATTORNEYS OR ANY OTHER RELIABLE SOURCE.

WHAT – CONDITIONS ARE STATUTORILY MANDATED? ART. 17.292 – FAMILY VIOLENCE INVOLVING AGGRAVATED ASSAULT OR SERIOUS BODILY INJURY ART. 17.41 – CHILD VICTIM U/14 PC CH. 21 (SEXUAL OFFENSES) PC CH 22 (ASSAULT) PC CH 25.02 (PROHIBITED SEXUAL CONDUCT) PC CH 43.25 (SEXUAL PERFORMANCE) ART 17.441 – IGNITION INTERLOCK SECOND OFFENSE DWI, DWI W/CHILD, FWI, BWI (NOTE – THE STATUTE SAYS “CHARGED WITH A SUBSEQUENT OFFENSE”. IT DOES NOT SAY THE DEFENDANT NEEDED TO HAVE BEEN CONVICTED OF THE FIRST CHARGED OFFENSE) INTOXICATION ASSAULT OR INTOXICATION MANSLAUGHTER

ART 17.47 (b) – DNA SAMPLE REQUIRED FOR RELEASE GOV’T CODE 411.1471(a)(2) ARRESTED FOR A FELONY DESCRIBED BY SUBDIVISION (1) AFTER HAVING BEEN PREVIOUSLY CONVICTED OF OR PLACED ON DEFERRED ADJUDICATION FOR AN OFFENSE DESCRIBED BY SUBDIVISION (1) OR AN OFFENSE PUNISHABLE UNDER SECTION 30.02(C)(2), PENAL CODE (BURGLARY OF A HABITATION); OR (3) CONVICTED UNDER SECTION 21.07 OR 21.08 (PUBLIC LEWDNESS OR INDECENT EXPOSURE) SUBDIVISION (1) OFFENSES : 20.04(a)(4) (AGGRAVATED KIDNAPPING WITH INTENT TO CAUSE BODILY INJURY OR VIOLATE OR ABUSE SEXUALLY). 21.11 (INDECENCY WITH CHILD). 22.011 (SEXUAL ASSAULT). 22.021 (AGGRAVATED SEXUAL ASSAULT). 25.02 (PROHIBITED SEXUAL CONDUCT OR 'INCEST'). 30.02(d) (BURGLARY OF A HABITATION COMMITTING OR WITH INTENT TO COMMIT A NON-THEFT FELONY). 43.05 (COMPELLING PROSTITUTION). 43.25 (SEXUAL PERFORMANCE BY CHILD). 43.26 (POSSESSION OR PROMOTION OF CHILD PORNOGRAPHY)

WHAT – CONDITIONS ARE PERMISSIVE Ex parte Robert D. TUCKER, Court of Appeals of Texas, Fort Worth. June 25, 1998, No. 2-97-738-CR. CASE FILED AS A PRETRIAL WRIT APPEAL IN CCA BASED ON A CONTENTION THAT TRIAL COURT HAD NO JURISDICTION TO ORDER A BOND CONDITION NOT EXPRESSLY AUTHORIZED BY STATUTE. APPEALS COURT RULED IN FAVOR OF TUCKER. LEGISLATURE SUBSEQUENTLY CHANGED CCP 17.41 FROM MAY TO SHALL WE MUST ALWAYS REMEMBER THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN “MAY” AND “SHALL”

THE PERMISSIVE STATUTES CCP 17.45 CONDITIONS REQUIRING AIDS and HIV INSTRUCTION CCP 17.46 CONDITIONS FOR A DEFENDANT CHARGED WITH STALKING CCP 17.292 MAGISTRATE’S ORDER FOR EMERGENCY PROTECTION (when issuing a permissive order) CCP 17.47(a) CONDITIONS REQUIRING SUBMISSION OF SPECIMEN (also includes a permissive provision)

PERMISSIVE STATUTES, CONTINUED CCP 17.49 CONDITIONS FOR DEFENDANT CHARGED WITH OFFENSE INVOLVING FAMILY VIOLENCE. ADDS GPS AS A PERMITTED CONDITION CCP 17.43 HOME CURFEW AND ELECTRONIC MONITORING AS CONDITION “MAY” REQUIRE AS A CONDITION OF RELEASE ON PR BOND CCP 17.44 HOME CONFINEMENT, ELECTRONIC MONITORING, AND DRUG TESTING AS CONDITION “MAY” REQUIRE AS A CONDITION OF RELEASE ON BOND BOTH 17.43 AND 17.44 USE “AND” BETWEEN CURFEW OR CONFINEMENT AND ELECTRONIC MONITORING.

PERMISSIVE STATUTES, CONTINUED THE SOLUTION MAY BE IN THE COMPARATIVE LANGUAGE(S) Art. 17.40. CONDITIONS RELATED TO VICTIM OR COMMUNITY SAFETY. (a) To secure a defendant's attendance at trial, a magistrate may impose any reasonable condition of bond related to the safety of a victim of the alleged offense or to the safety of the community. Art. 17.43. HOME CURFEW AND ELECTRONIC MONITORING AS CONDITION. (a) A magistrate may require as a condition of release on personal bond that the defendant submit to home curfew and electronic monitoring……. Art. 17.44. HOME CONFINEMENT, ELECTRONIC MONITORING, AND DRUG TESTING AS CONDITION. (a) A magistrate may require as a condition of release on bond that the defendant submit to:

PERMISSIVE STATUTES, CONTINUED CCP 17.40 DEALS WITH CONDITION(S) OF BOND CCP 17.43 AND 17.44 DEAL WITH CONDITIONS OF RELEASE. THE LANGUAGE SUGGESTS THAT EITHER THE PR BOND (17.43) OR THE RELEASE ITSELF (17.44) WERE NOT FOREGONE CONCLUSIONS: CCP 17.43 COULD APPLY TO CCP Art. 17.033. RELEASE ON BOND OF CERTAIN PERSONS ARRESTED WITHOUT A WARRANT., BUT ONLY IF THE ACCUSED CAN AFFORD A SURETY BOND EITHER STATUTE COULD APPLY TO A DENIAL OF BAIL CASE AS WITH Art 17.033, Art 17.43 COULD APPLY TO AN Art 17.151 RELEASE, BUT ONLY IF THE ACCUSED CAN AFFORD A SURETY. Art 17.44 CAN NEVER APPLY.

GENERAL CONDITIONS OF BOND - TEXAS Ex Parte Leverett, No. 05-05-01557-CR, 2006 WL 279388 (Tex.App.—Dallas 2006) (not designated for publication). The following conditions imposed on appeal bond after misdemeanor DWI conviction were held to be proper: 1) Commit no offense against the laws of Texas or any other state or the United States; 2) Consume no alcoholic beverages; 3) Report in person to the pretrial release supervising officer (hereinafter “supervising officer”) of the Grayson County Community Supervision and Corrections Department, beginning on the date of this order, and one time per month thereafter; 4) Pay a monthly supervisory fee in the amount of $20.00 to the Grayson County Community Supervision and Corrections Department; 5) Remain within Grayson County, Texas, unless express permission to leave said county is granted by the supervising officer or by the Court; 6) Submit a specimen of breath or blood as directed from time to time by the supervising officer for the detection of alcohol in the defendant’s body and pay any and all fees associated therewith; 7) Operate no motor vehicle with any detectable amount of alcohol in the defendant’s body; 8) Submit a specimen of breath or blood for analysis to determine the alcohol concentration in the defendant’s body upon the request of any peace officer as authorized by law; 9) Have installed on the motor vehicle owned by the defendant, or on the vehicle most regularly operated by the defendant, an ignition interlock device, approved by the Texas Department of Public Safety, that uses a deep lung breath analysis mechanism to make impractical the operation of a motor vehicle if ethyl alcohol is detected in the breath of the operator. Such device shall be installed on the appropriate vehicle, at the defendant’s expense, within 30 days from the date of this order; 10) Provide proof of installation of such ignition interlock device to the supervising officer on or before the 30th day after the date of this order; and 11) Operate no motor vehicle that is not equipped with an ignition interlock device.

GENERAL CONDITIONS OF BOND – TEXAS, CONTINUED Grady v. State, 962 S.W.2d 128 (Tex.App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 1997, pet. ref’d). Courts have no authority to put conditions on misdemeanor appeal bonds that are not provided for by statute.  In this case, the conditions that the defendant: 1) submit to random UA;  2) place interlock device on vehicle;  3)home confinement;  4) electronic monitoring were upheld.  Condition that he attend AA was held to be invalid.

THREE PRONG TEST Art. 17.40. CONDITIONS RELATED TO VICTIM OR COMMUNITY SAFETY. (a) To secure a (1) defendant's attendance at trial, a magistrate may impose any reasonable condition of bond related to the (2) safety of a victim of the alleged offense or to the (3) safety of the community.

REASONABLENESS IS THE KEY DRUG TESTING ALCOHOL MONITORING STAY-AWAY ORDERS PROHIBIT NEW OFFENSES REQUIRE PERIODIC CHECK-IN PERMITTING ACCUSED TO SEEK REHABILITATION IN LIEU OF INCARCERATION

CREATIVITY CAN BE YOUR DOWNFALL NOT ENGAGE IN “INJURIOUS” PRACTICES NOT ASSOCIATE WITH “DISREPUTABLE” PERSONS NOT DRINK ALCOHOL “TO EXCESS” MAINTAIN “SUITABLE” EMPLOYMENT ORDERING ACCUSED TO ATTEND SELF/GROUP HELP OR REHABILITATION.

WHY USE BOND CONDITIONS? TO SECURE THE ACCUSED’S ATTENDANCE AT TRIAL IN THE INTEREST OF VICTIM SAFETY IN THE INTEREST OF COMMUNITY SAFETY WELCOME (BUT UNINTENDED) BENEFITS AIDS IN THE REDUCTION OF REPEAT OFFENSES AND ASSOCIATED CRIMINAL ACTIVITY ASSISTS IN KEEPING CONTACT ESTABLISHED BETWEEN THE COURTS AND THE DEFENDANT RECORD OF COMPLIANCE (OR LACK OF) ASSISTS TRIAL COURTS IN ASSESSING SUITABILITY FOR PROBATION, ETC. SOME DEFENDANTS FIND THEY CAN ACTUALLY LIVE CLEAN AND SOBER

OK, SO WHAT DO YOU DO IF AN EPO WAS NEEDED, BUT NOT ISSUED? WHEN AND WHERE MAGISTRATE’S ORDERS FOR EMERGENCY PROTECTION ARE, BY STATUTORY LANGUAGE, DONE AT ACCUSED’S FIRST APPEARANCE BEFORE THE MAGISTRATE AFTER ARREST. OTHER CONDITIONS SHOULD BE DONE AT FIRST APPEARANCE, BUT MAY BE DONE LATER. OK, SO WHAT DO YOU DO IF AN EPO WAS NEEDED, BUT NOT ISSUED?

WHEN AND WHERE, CONTINUED THE SPECIFIC BOND CONDITIONS SHOULD BE EXPLAINED IN CLEAR LANGUAGE IN OPEN COURT. THE CONSEQUENCES OF FAILURE TO OBSERVE THOSE CONDITIONS SHOULD ALSO BE MADE VERY CLEAR. ACCUSED SHALL BE PROVIDED A COPY OF THE ORDER IN PERSON OR ELECTRONICALLY. REMIND THE ACCUSED TO MAKE SURE HE HAS A COPY WHEN HE LEAVES CUSTODY AND TELL HIM WHO TO CONTACT TO GET A NEW COPY, IF NEEDED. SEND A COPY OF THE BOND CONDITION ORDER TO THE BONDING COMPANY AND DEFENDANT’S ATTORNEY.

HOW THIS IS THE PART THAT MAKES OR BREAKS YOUR BOND CONDITION PROGRAM ACCURATE RECORDS AND DAILY MONITORING ARE THE KEYS. FAILURE TO UNIFORMLY ENFORCE YOUR CONDITIONS CAN LEAD TO CLAIMS OF DISCRIMINATION OR ABUSE. DEVELOP A GOOD WORKING RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR LABORATORIES AND SERVICE PROVIDERS. ESPECIALLY WITH LABS, A RELEASE MAY NEED TO BE SIGNED BY THE ACCUSED, AS REPORTS MUST BE SENT DIRECT FROM THE LAB. BE PREPARED TO BE SOMEWHAT FLEXIBLE. BE PREPARED TO DEFEND YOUR CONDITIONS AND ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM.

MEET WITH YOUR TRIAL COURT JUDGES AND EXPLAIN YOUR PROGRAM. HOW, CONTINUED MEET WITH YOUR CA/DA AND REVIEW YOUR PROGRAM. DO NOT BE SURPRISED IF THEY DECLINE TO APPEAR AT HEARINGS MEET WITH YOUR TRIAL COURT JUDGES AND EXPLAIN YOUR PROGRAM. MEET WITH YOUR FELLOW JP’S/MAGISTRATES TO SOLICIT THEIR CO-OPERATION AND PARTICIPATION. DEVELOP LOCAL RULES FOR EXCHANGE OF BENCHES AS REQUIRED. DO NOT LET YOUR COMPLIANCE DOCKET FALL BEHIND.

BOTH CONDITIONS CONTAIN “INITIAL CONTACT” PROVISIONS HOW, CONTINUED DRUG TESTING AND ALCOHOL PROHIBITION CASES WILL REPRESENT THE MAJORITY OF YOUR COMPLIANCE HEARINGS. BOTH CONDITIONS CONTAIN “INITIAL CONTACT” PROVISIONS ACCUSED MUST CONTACT THE MONITOR WITHIN 5 DAYS OF RELEASE (TO ADVISE THE NAME OF THEIR SERVICE PROVIDER) FAILING TO CONTACT SHOULD RESULT IN A WARNING NOTICE BEING SENT. SET A FINAL TIME LIMIT. FURTHER FAILURE RESULTS IN AN ORDER TO APPEAR AND SHOW CAUSE. FAILURE TO SHOW GOOD CAUSE OR FAILURE TO APPEAR FOR THE HEARING RESULTS IN REVOCATION OF BOND AND AN ARREST WARRANT.
