The process here

What a Golinda arrest looks like

01

Arrest and transport

Police in Golinda, 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.

Golinda sits on a county line, and it matters

Golinda is an incorporated city roughly thirteen miles south of Waco on U.S. Route 77, and it straddles the boundary between Falls County and McLennan County. That is not a technicality when someone has been arrested — it decides where they are held.

An arrest on the McLennan County side is booked into the McLennan County Detention Center on East Highway 6 in Waco. An arrest on the Falls County side goes to the county jail in Marlin, the Falls County seat. Different facility, different clerk, different queue.

Ask which county before anything else

The first question to ask whoever called you is which county the arrest was in. If nobody knows, give us the name and date of birth and we will check both. It takes a few minutes and it is free, and it prevents the most common wasted trip we see — a family driving to Waco while their son is sitting in Marlin.

We write bonds in both counties, so the answer changes our paperwork rather than whether we can help. It does change the timing, and we will tell you honestly what each one looks like tonight.

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