What a Downsville arrest looks like

01

Arrest and transport

Police in Downsville, the McLennan County Sheriff and DPS all transport to the same detention center on East Highway 6 in Waco.

02

Booking

Fingerprints, photograph and property intake. This is where most of the waiting happens, and it is the stage nobody can shorten — including us.

03

Bail is set

Misdemeanors often follow a bail schedule and are known immediately. Felonies are set at magistration, usually within 24 hours of booking.

04

We post the bond

Once the amount is on the record and the agreement is signed, we file. Release then depends on the jail working through its queue.

Who responds in Downsville

Downsville is an unincorporated community in southern McLennan County, one of several settled in the years after the Civil War. Like the county’s other unincorporated areas it has no police department of its own, so calls are answered by the McLennan County Sheriff’s Office, with the Department of Public Safety handling the highways.

Everyone arrested on a bondable charge in the county goes to the same place: the McLennan County Detention Center on East Highway 6 in Waco. There is no local court to settle a citation with either — that goes through the county too.

What a bond costs and what starts it

The premium is 10% of the total bail the court set, or 15% when the total is exactly $1,000, which is the smallest bond we write. The jail adds $15 per bond, capped at $30, that goes to the State of Texas. The premium is the fee for posting the bond and is not refunded.

A down payment starts the paperwork and the balance is scheduled around your pay periods. Bring a valid photo ID, a working phone number and proof of residence or income as cosigner. We file within 30–45 minutes of signing; the jail’s queue decides the rest.

Every hour they sit in there is an hour you can end.
