What a Lorena arrest looks like

01

Arrest and transport

Police in Lorena, 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 makes the arrest in Lorena

Lorena runs a small police department out of 200 South Frontage Road — five full-time sworn officers for the whole city. The McLennan County Sheriff’s Office and DPS work the surrounding roads and Interstate 35, which runs along the edge of town.

Whoever makes the arrest, a bondable charge goes to the McLennan County Detention Center on East Highway 6 in Waco. Our office on East Waco Drive is a few minutes from that door.

The court sits twice a month, and only on tickets

Lorena Municipal Court is a court of record at 107 South Frontage Road, handling Class C misdemeanors and city ordinance violations punishable by a fine. It sits on the first and third Wednesday of the month.

That schedule matters for one reason: it is not where a bond happens. A bondable charge does not wait for a Wednesday — it is filed at the county as soon as the amount is on the record. We do not write traffic or Class C bonds, and our smallest bond is $1,000.
