When an individual is arrested for a crime in the State of Texas, typically that person will be taken to
a local law enforcement station for booking, prior to incarceration in a station lock-up or county jail.
Once arrested and booked, the defendant has several options for release pending the conclusion of his or her case.
Bail is designed to guarantee the appearance of a defendant in court at the time directed by the judge.

A judge may also choose to release a suspect on his own recognizance. Personal recognizance is usually only allowed when the charge involves a relatively minor, nonviolent crime and if the defendant is not considered a danger to anyone else or a flight risk meaning that it's highly unlikely that the person will flee and not appear for his or her court date.
