Under Article 17.40 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, a judge can “impose any reasonable condition of bond related to the safety of a victim of the alleged offense or the safety of the community.” This gives the court a lot of leeway, but in actuality, most judges will take into consideration:
Seriousness of the offense
Defendant’s criminal history
Defendant’s physical and mental condition
Employment history and ties to the community
Whether or not he or she is a flight risk
