Art. 7.03. [80] [125] [115] ACCUSED BROUGHT BEFORE
MAGISTRATE. When the accused has been brought before the
magistrate, he shall hear proof as to the accusation, and if he be
satisfied that there is just reason to apprehend that the offense
was intended to be committed, or that the threat was seriously made,
he shall make an order that the accused enter into bond in such sum
as he may in his discretion require, conditioned that he will not
commit such offense, and that he will keep the peace toward the
person threatened or about to be injured, and toward all others
named in the bond for any period of time, not to exceed one year from
the date of the bond. The magistrate shall admonish the accused
that if the accused violates a condition of the bond, the court, in
addition to ordering forfeiture of the bond, may punish the accused
for contempt under Section 21.002(c), Government Code.
