It's certainly a warrant or order for arrest:

SW is more likely statewide not search warrant.
Can be used in any kind of criminal case.

You may wish to consult with a local Texas Criminal Defense Lawyer for clarification on such abbreviation. Many lawyers do offer a free consultation.

A capias is an arrest warrant. It can issue following an indictment, for failure to pay court ordered monies, or following a motion to revoke probation (just to name a few).
