Justice Courts Justice of the peace courts have original jurisdiction in Class C misdemeanor criminal cases, which are less serious minor offenses. These courts also have jurisdiction over minor civil matters.
Locally elected county attorneys, district attorneys, and criminal district attorneys are responsible for prosecuting crime in Texas.
The time of release from jail may vary; the average time for release may be four (4) to six (6) hours from the time of bond approval. When you post bond for someone to be released from jail, please make allowances for unforeseen problems and possible delays.
While it may seem a bit backwards to some people, the lower the degree of an offense (1st Degree, 2nd Degree, or 3rd Degree), the more serious charges. Likewise the higher the degree (4th Degree or 5th Degree) means the offense is of a less serious nature.

Penalties for Misdemeanors in Texas If you are convicted of a misdemeanor, your penalties can include: Class C Misdemeanor: Fines of up to $500 but no jail time. Class B Misdemeanor: Fines of up to $2,000 and up to 180 days in jail. Class A Misdemeanor: Fines of up to $4,000 and a jail sentence of up to one year.
At the Detention Center, the person who was arrested will go through a booking-in process. During that process, jail officials will ask for information such as the person's name, address, birth date, any medical problems, and the like. The booking-in officer may or may not take the person's fingerprints.
The County Attorney prosecutes misdemeanor cases.
Best-case scenario: Release within 30 minutes to 2 hours after posting bail during regular business hours. More typical scenario: Release within 4-8 hours, especially during off-peak hours or weekends. Worst-case scenario: Release could be delayed for 24 hours or more in complex cases or due to logistical hurdles.
