§ 157.105. RELEASE HEARING.  (a) If the respondent is 
taken into custody and not released on bond, the respondent shall be 
brought before the court that issued the capias on or before the 
first working day after the arrest.  The court shall determine 
whether the respondent's appearance in court at a designated time 
and place can be assured by a method other than by posting the bond 
or security previously established.
	(b)  If the respondent is released without posting bond or 
security, the court shall set a hearing on the alleged contempt at a 
designated date, time, and place and give the respondent notice of 
hearing in open court.  No other notice to the respondent is 
required.
	(c)  If the court is not satisfied that the respondent's 
appearance in court can be assured and the respondent remains in 
custody, a hearing on the alleged contempt shall be held as soon as 
practicable, but not later than the fifth day after the date that 
the respondent was taken into custody, unless the respondent and 
the respondent's attorney waive the accelerated hearing.
