_____ to read as follows, and renumber the subsequent sections
accordingly:
      SECTION _____.  Section 13(a), Article 42.18, Code of
Criminal Procedure, is amended to read as follows:
      (a)  A warrant for the return of a paroled prisoner, a
prisoner released to mandatory supervision, a prisoner released
although not eligible for release, a resident released to a
preparole or work program, a prisoner released on emergency
reprieve or on furlough, or a person released on a conditional
pardon to the institution from which the person was paroled,
released, or pardoned may be issued by the director or a designated
agent of the director in cases of parole or mandatory supervision,
or by the board on order by the governor in other cases, if there
is reason to believe that the person has been released although not
eligible for release, if the person has been arrested for an
offense, if there is a document that is self-authenticating as
provided by Rule 902, Texas Rules of Criminal Evidence <verified
complaint> stating that the person violated a rule or condition of
release, or if there is reliable evidence that the person has
exhibited behavior during the person's release that indicates to a
reasonable person that the person poses a danger to society that
warrants the person's immediate return to custody.  The person may
be held in custody pending a determination of all facts surrounding
the alleged offense, violation of a rule or condition of release,
or dangerous behavior.  A designated agent of the director acts
independently from a parole officer and must receive specialized
training as determined by the director.  Such warrant shall
authorize all officers named therein to take actual custody of the
prisoner and detain and house the prisoner until a parole panel
orders the return of the prisoner to the institution from which he
was released.  Pending hearing, as hereinafter provided, upon any
charge of parole violation, ineligible release, or violation of the
conditions of mandatory supervision, a prisoner returned to custody
shall remain incarcerated.  If the director, a board member, or a
designated agent of the director or the board is otherwise
authorized to issue a warrant under this subsection, the division
may instead issue to a prisoner a summons requiring the prisoner to
appear for a hearing under Section 14 of this article.  The summons
must state the time, place, date, and purpose of the hearing.
