SUBCHAPTER B.  ATTACHMENT OF ESTATE PROPERTY

Sec. 1056.051.  ORDER FOR ISSUANCE OF WRIT OF ATTACHMENT.  (a)  If a person interested in the estate of an incapacitated person files with the judge a written complaint made under oath alleging that the guardian is about to remove the estate or a part of the estate outside of the state, the judge may order a writ of attachment to issue, directed "to any sheriff or any constable within the State of Texas."  The writ must order the sheriff or constable to:
(1)  seize the estate or a part of the estate; and
(2)  hold that property subject to further court order.
(b)  Notwithstanding Subsection (a), a writ of attachment directed to the sheriff or constable of a specific county in this state is not defective if the writ was properly executed within that county by the sheriff or constable to whom the writ is directed.
