§ 157.375. IMMUNITY TO CIVIL PROCESS.  (a) While in this 
state for the sole purpose of compelling the return of a child 
through a habeas corpus proceeding, the relator is not amenable to 
civil process and is not subject to the jurisdiction of any civil 
court except the court in which the writ is pending.  The relator is 
subject to process and jurisdiction in that court only for the 
purpose of prosecuting the writ.
	(b)  A request by the relator for costs, attorney's fees, and 
necessary travel and other expenses under Chapter 106 or 152 is not 
a waiver of immunity to civil process.

Added by Acts 1995, 74th Leg., ch. 20, § 1, eff. April 20, 1995.
