§ 654. Attachment for Property
654. Attachment for Property
When a complaint in writing and under oath that the guardian is about to remove the estate or any part of the estate beyond the limits of the state is made to the judge by a person interested in the estate of a minor or other incapacitated person, the judge may order a writ to issue, directed “To any sheriff or any constable within the State of Texas,” commanding the sheriff or constable to seize the estate or any part of the estate and to hold the estate subject to further court order. The judge may not issue a writ unless the complainant gives a bond, in the sum the judge requires, payable to the guardian of the estate and conditioned on payment of all damages and costs that shall be recovered for a wrongful suit out of the writ. A writ of attachment directed to the sheriff or a constable of a specific county in this state is not defective if the writ was properly executed within the county by the officer to whom the direction to seize the estate was given.
