11 TRANSFER OF JURISDICTION SEVERAL OFFENSES HAVE MANDATORY BOND CONDITIONS WHICH MUST BE IMPOSED BY THE MAGISTRATE. NO SPECIFIC STATUTE COVERS HANDLING SUCH CASES FROM OUTSIDE JURISDICTION. ONE SOLUTION IS TO IMPOSE THE CONDITION AND THEN TRANSFER ENFORCEMENT DUTIES TO THE COURT IN WHICH THE CASE WAS ORIGINALLY FILED.

12 ORDER TRANSFERRING JURISDICTION As a condition of release on bond and in accordance with TCCP 17.40 and TCCP 17.441(mandatory condition), bond conditions were imposed under Magistrate’s Order on the 6 th day of June, 2013. The original charge having been filed in Haskell County, jurisdiction for the continuing bond condition and compliance supervision thereof are ORDERED transferred to the district Court of Haskell County, Texas.

13 RELEASE FROM OR MODIFICATION OF BOND CONDITION THIS CAN BE DONE AT FORMAL OR INFORMAL HEARING USING AUTHORITY OF CCP 17.40, CCP 17.09 Sec 3, OR OTHER APPLICABLE STATUTE. WHEN DEALING WITH MANDATORY BOND CONDITIONS, READ THE STATUTE LANGUAGE CAREFULLY. SEE CCP 17.41. TWO MANDATORY CONDITIONS HAVE “OPT-OUT” CLAUSES. EXAMINE THE CIRCUMSTANCES USING THE 3 PRONG TEST RULES – INSURE DEFENDANT APPEARS FOR TRIAL – VICTIM SAFETY – COMMUNITY SAFETY

14 RELEASE OR MODIFICATION, CONTINUED HABEAS CORPUS – HABEAS CORPUS IS AN EXTRAORDINARY WRIT SEEKING THE PROTECTION OF A COURT OF TRIAL JURISDICTION UNDER CLAIMS ALLEGING EITHER THAT THE CASE CANNOT GO FORWARD OR THAT THE ACCUSED IS BEING ILLEGALLY OR IMPROPERLY RESTRAINED IN HIS LIBERTY. – AN ACCUSED CAN BE ON BOND AND STILL BE IMPROPERLY RESTRAINED. – IF THE WRIT IS GRANTED, JURISDICTION OVER THE CASE TRANSFERRS TO THE TRIAL COURT.

15 HABEAS CORPUS, CONTINUED IF THE WRIT IS HEARD, THE PRESIDING JUDGE HAS 3 OPTIONS: – REMAND THE ACCUSED TO CUSTODY – ADMIT HIM TO BAIL – DISCHARGE THE ACCUSED IF THE TRIAL COURT ADMITS TO BOND, THEY WILL SET (AND BE RESPONSIBLE FOR) BOND CONDITIONS. THE CASE ONLY REMAINS IN JP/MAGISTRATE COURT IF THE TRIAL COURT REFUSES TO HEAR THE WRIT.

16 RELEASE FROM CUSTODY CCP Art. 15.21. PRISONER DISCHARGED IF NOT TIMELY DEMANDED. – If the proper office of the county where the offense is alleged to have been committed does not demand the arrested person and take charge of the arrested person before the 11th day after the date the person is committed to the jail of the county in which the person is arrested, the arrested person shall be discharged from custody. Acts 1965, 59th Leg., vol. 2, p. 317, ch. 722. Amended by: Acts 2007, 80th Leg., R.S., Ch. 1308 (S.B. 909), Sec. 3, eff. June 15, 2007.

17 Art. 17.151. RELEASE BECAUSE OF DELAY Sec. 1. A defendant who is detained in jail pending trial of an accusation against him must be released either on personal bond or by reducing the amount of bail required, if the state is not ready for trial of the criminal action for which he is being detained within: (1) 90 days from the commencement of his detention if he is accused of a felony; (2) 30 days from the commencement of his detention if he is accused of a misdemeanor punishable by a sentence of imprisonment in jail for more than 180 days; (3) 15 days from the commencement of his detention if he is accused of a misdemeanor punishable by a sentence of imprisonment for 180 days or less; or (4) five days from the commencement of his detention if he is accused of a misdemeanor punishable by a fine only. Sec. 2. The provisions of this article do not apply to a defendant who is: (1) serving a sentence of imprisonment for another offense while the defendant is serving that sentence; (2) being detained pending trial of another accusation against the defendant as to which the applicable period has not yet elapsed; (3) incompetent to stand trial, during the period of the defendant's incompetence; or (4) being detained for a violation of the conditions of a previous release related to the safety of a victim of the alleged offense or to the safety of the community under this article.

18 EX PARTE CHARLIE J. GILL, Appellant EX PARTE TOMMY JOHN GILL, Appellant Nos. PD-0596-13, PD-0624-13 Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas November 20, 2013 “Rowe v. State was the seminal case in which this Court interpreted the meaning of article 17.151. [13] In Rowe, we held that where it was undisputed that the State was not ready for trial ninety days after an accused's arrest, a judge had only two options under article 17.151: either release the accused upon personal bond or reduce the bail amount. [14] "If the court chooses to reduce the amount of bail required, it must reduce bail required to an amount that the record reflects an accused can make in order to effectuate release." [15]” [13][14][15] Rowe v. State, 853 S.W.2d 581 (Tex. Crim. App. 1993).

19 EX PARTE D’ANATE LEE SHAW NO. 02-12-00116-CR COURT OF APPEALS OF TEXAS, SECOND DISTRICT, FORT WORTH 2012 SHAW WAS TAKEN INTO CUSTODY 09.01.12 ON THREE FELONY COUNTS. HE WAS INDICTED ON ONE COUNT WITHIN 90 DAYS. JANUARY, 2013 HE FILED FOR HABEAS CORPUS RELIEF AFTER HAVING HIS MOTION FOR RELEASE ON THE UNINDICTED CHARGES REFUSED. REFUSAL WAS BASED ON CCP 17.151 Sec 2 (2): being detained pending trial of another accusation against the defendant as to which the applicable period has not yet elapsed; SECOND DISTRICT OVERTURNED THE TRIAL COURT (ACCUSED’S REQUEST FOR RELIEF WAS NOT IN HIS BEST INTEREST)

20 CHAPTER 32. DISMISSING PROSECUTIONS Art. 32.01. DEFENDANT IN CUSTODY AND NO INDICTMENT PRESENTED. When a defendant has been detained in custody or held to bail for his appearance to answer any criminal accusation, the prosecution, unless otherwise ordered by the court, for good cause shown, supported by affidavit, shall be dismissed and the bail discharged, if indictment or information be not presented against such defendant on or before the last day of the next term of the court which is held after his commitment or admission to bail or on or before the 180th day after the date of commitment or admission to bail, whichever date is later.
