» Texas Constitution

Article 1 Sec. 11. Bill Of Rights — Bail

All prisoners shall be bailable by sufficient sureties, unless for capital offenses, when the proof is evident; but this provision shall not be so construed as to prevent bail after indictment found upon examination of the evidence, in such manner as may be prescribed by law.

Other Note(s):

A felon has no constitutional right to bail; this right is a legislative grant. See also Code of Criminal Procedure Art. 1.07.
