State'', 667 S.W.2d 149, [https://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=18105305109371871550#p151 151-52] (Tex.Crim.App. 1984) ("Article I, § 11 of the Texas Constitution provides all prisoners shall be bailable . . . . In addition to the built in exception to the right to bail in said Article I, § 11, there are other exceptions as we have seen in Article I, § 11-a of the State Constitution. These latter exceptions to the constitutional right to bail include the seeds of preventive detention urged by many to be abhorrent to the American system of justice. It is obvious that for these reasons the provisions of said Article I, § 11-a, contain strict limitations and other safeguards.") | ||

Appellant contends that the affidavits of the complaining witnesses are insufficient . . . . We hold that an accused is entitled to be confronted with the witnesses against him at the hearing under Article 1, Section 11a, supra, before bail can be denied.") | * ''Ex parte Miles'', 474 S.W.2d 224, [https://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=8091587886437479777#p225 225] (Tex.Crim.App. 1971) ("We hold that the denial of bail to persons who have been charged with a felony offense less than capital with two prior convictions alleged in accordance with Article 1, Section 11a, supra, for a period of sixty days pending trial is reasonable and does not violate constitutional rights against a class.
