Travis County Jail Booking Process - 

What Happens After an Arrest in Travis County

After an arrest in Travis County, the individual is typically transported to the Travis County Jail where the booking process begins.

​

Booking usually includes:

• collecting personal information
• fingerprinting
• photographing the individual
• entering the arrest into the jail system

​

Once booking is complete, the individual will either be given a bond amount or will appear before a magistrate judge who sets bail.

After bail has been set, a bail bond can be posted to secure release.
