Navarro County 72 Hour Booking Hold Laws

Texas law limits how long someone can be held after a warrantless arrest. Article 17.033 says a misdemeanor arrest requires release within 24 hours on a bond of no more than $5,000 if probable cause hasn't been found. Felony arrests have a 48-hour window with a $10,000 bond cap.

The state can ask for more time. A magistrate can extend the hold to a full 72 hours if the prosecution needs it. This is not automatic. The state has to make the request. In Navarro County, magistrate hearings happen at the courthouse in Corsicana. Under Article 14.06, the arrested person must see a magistrate within 48 hours. At that point, bail is set and the person is told about their rights.
