Under Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Article 15.17, the arrested person must see a magistrate within 48 hours. The magistrate hearing sets bail and explains the person's rights. That includes the right to a lawyer and the right to stay silent. The magistrate's decision gets added to the booking file.

Medical screening is mandatory at intake. The Texas Commission on Jail Standards sets the rules. Personal items are inventoried and stored. Once all the steps are done, the inmate is assigned to a housing area based on the charges and risk level.
