Art. 11.34. [146] [194] [184] DISOBEYING WRIT.  When service 
has been made upon a person charged with the illegal custody of 
another, if he refuses to obey the writ and make the return required 
by law, or, if he refuses to receive the writ, or conceals himself, 
the court or judge issuing the writ shall issue a warrant directed 
to any officer or other suitable person willing to execute the same, 
commanding him to arrest the person charged with the illegal 
custody or detention of another, and bring him before such court or 
judge.  When such person has been arrested and brought before the 
court or judge, if he still refuses to return the writ, or does not 
produce the person in his custody, he shall be committed to jail and 
remain there until he is willing to obey the writ of habeas corpus, 
and until he pays all the costs of the proceeding.

Acts 1965, 59th Leg., vol. 2, p. 317, ch. 722, eff. Jan. 1, 1966.
