Art. 22.021. FORFEITURE AFTER VIOLATING TREATMENT
CONDITION. On its own motion or the motion of the attorney for the
state, the magistrate who set a defendant's bond or before whom a
prosecution is pending may issue a warrant for the arrest of the
defendant for a violation of a condition of the defendant's bond
under Article 17.40 of this code. If, at a hearing, the magistrate
