§ 34.600. In certain cases warrant may issue instead of writ
Whenever it shall appear by satisfactory proof, by affidavit, to any judge authorized
by law to grant a writ of habeas corpus, that anyone is illegally held in custody,
confinement or restraint, and that there is good reason to believe that such person
will be carried out of the jurisdiction of such judge before whom the application
is made, or will suffer some irreparable injury before compliance with the writ of
habeas corpus can be enforced, the judge may cause a warrant to be issued, reciting
the facts, and directed to the sheriff or any constable of the county, commanding
