(Tarrant County, TX) – A person detained by the police for certain low-level, misdemeanor crimes in Tarrant County may now be issued a citation, instead of being immediately arrested.
The change is part of a law called Cite and Release that was passed by the Texas Legislature in 2007. Under the law, a defendant charged with some Class A and B misdemeanor offenses is eligible for a citation, rather than an immediate arrest. Tarrant County Law Enforcement Executives, Tarrant County magistrates and the Criminal District Attorney’s Office worked together in recent months to determine how it will be implemented.
