Art. 22.021. FORFEITURE AFTER VIOLATING TREATMENT 
CONDITION.  On its own motion or the motion of the attorney for the

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 
determines that the defendant violated the condition without
