A Texas Order Requiring a Defendant to Appear in the District Where Charges are Pending and Transferring Bail is an order issued by a court in the state of Texas. This order requires a defendant to appear in the district court where the charges against them are pending and can also transfer any existing bail bond from one district to another. The purpose of this order is to ensure that defendants appear in court when they receive a summons, and to ensure that any bonds posted are transferred to the proper district for the criminal proceedings. There are two types of Texas Order Requiring a Defendant to Appear in the District Where Charges are Pending and Transferring Bail: a writ of habeas corpus ad responded and a writ of habeas corpus ad prosequendum. A writ of habeas corpus ad responded is an order issued to a defendant who has not yet been arrested and ordered to appear in the district where the charges are pending. A writ of habeas corpus ad prosequendum is an order issued to a defendant who has already been arrested and ordered to appear in the district where the charges are pending.
