* ''Ex parte Carr'', 511 S.W.2d 523, [https://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=10466649267024622206# | * ''Ex parte Carr'', 511 S.W.2d 523, [https://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=10466649267024622206#p525 525] (Tex.Crim.App. 1974) ("A petitioner seeking habeas corpus is not entitled to burden the courts with his process out of willfulness and spite. If he has grounds which would justify the granting of the relief he seeks, he should present them with dispatch for determination, rather than doling them out one-by-one in repeated attempts to have both the benefits of relief and the fleeting pleasures of harassing those who confine him. A proper respect for the concept of justice it is the office of the Great Writ to protect, requires that petitions be filed in earnest and that all contentions of merit be presented and ruled upon as expeditiously as possible. The writ of habeas corpus is too serious and important a matter to be lightly used, and easily abused. It is a shield against injustice which should not be suffered to become a weapon in the hands of spiteful persons.") | ||

Legate'', 28 S.W. 281, [https://texaslegalguide.com/images/028_SW_281.pdf#page=2 282] (Tex. 1894) ("If, in this proceeding, it appears that such person is restrained by reason of his supposed violation of some criminal law or quasi criminal law, as an offense against the person, or contempt of court, then the proceeding must be classed as a criminal case, although upon the whole case the court should be of opinion that the act for which such person is detained does not constitute a violation of such law . . . but, if such person is not restrained by reason of some supposed violation of law, then the proceeding must be classed as a civil case.") | * ''Legate v.
