FAQ
In Collin County, if no bond is set and the arrested person does not want to wait in jail until a judge sets the bond, a lawyer can file a writ of habeas corpus to have the bond set.
Art. 11.05. BY WHOM WRIT MAY BE ISSUED. The court of criminal appeals, the district courts, the county courts, or any judge of those courts may issue the writ of habeas corpus, and it is their duty, on proper application, to issue the writ under the rules prescribed by law.
State every ground (reason) that supports your claim that you are being held in violation of the Constitution, laws, or treaties of the United States. Attach additional pages if you have more than four grounds. State the facts supporting each ground. Any legal arguments must be submitted in a separate memorandum.
If the court grants the writ of habeas corpus, it may schedule a hearing to determine the child's custody or visitation arrangements. During the hearing, both parents will have the opportunity to present their arguments and evidence.
Common arguments for granting a habeas corpus petition include: You had incompetent legal counsel or a competent attorney was not provided. You were convicted under an unconstitutional law; You were convicted under a law that has since been changed, so what you did is no longer considered a crime;
(b) An application for writ of habeas corpus filed after final conviction in a felony case, other than a case in which the death penalty is imposed, must be filed with the clerk of the court in which the conviction being challenged was obtained, and the clerk shall assign the application to that court.
Today, habeas corpus is mainly used as a post-conviction remedy for state or federal prisoners who challenge the legality of the application of federal laws that were used in the judicial proceedings that resulted in their detention.
Filing the Petition To file a state habeas corpus petition, individuals must use the official Judicial Council Form HC-001, which should be filled out completely and clearly. The petition should include detailed information about the grounds for relief, supporting facts, and relevant legal authorities.
