Tex. R. Civ. P. 611
Bond for Distress Warrant
No distress warrant shall issue before final judgment until the party applying therefor has filed
with the justice of the peace authorized to issue such warrant a bond payable to the defendant in
an amount approved by the justice of the peace, with suffici ent surety or sureties as provided by
statute, conditioned that the plaintiff will prosecute his suit to effect and pay all damages and costs
as may be adjudged against him for wrongfully suing out such warrant.
After notice to the opposite party, either before or after the issuance of the warrant, the defendant
or plaintiff may file a motion to increase or reduce the amount of such bond, or to question the
sufficiency of the sureties thereon, in a court having jurisdiction of the subject matter. Upon
hearing, the court shall enter its order with respect to such bond and sufficiency of the sureties.
