Flower Mound Overview
Flower Mound Recent Bookings and Police Records
The Flower Mound Police Department is the main law enforcement agency in town.

How Recent Bookings Work in Flower Mound
The arrest process in Flower Mound follows state law. An officer makes the arrest, records the person's details, takes fingerprints and a photo, and logs the charges. This creates the booking record. The person is then transported to the Denton County jail for holding until they can see a judge.
Under Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 14, Texas officers can make warrantless arrests when they see a crime happen. Felony arrests require probable cause. Misdemeanor warrantless arrests are more limited and depend on the nature of the offense. Most traffic-related arrests in Flower Mound fall under specific provisions that allow officers to take a person into custody for certain violations.
Once at the county jail, the person goes before a magistrate for a bail hearing. The judge looks at the charges and the person's background. Minor offenses usually have a preset bond amount. More serious charges need a hearing. The Texas Penal Code Chapter 12 sets out the punishment ranges that guide these decisions.
Class C misdemeanors carry fines only. Class B means up to 180 days in county jail. Class A goes up to a year. State jail felonies range from 180 days to two years. First, second, and third degree felonies bring increasingly longer prison terms. Each charge in a booking record cites the specific Penal Code section so you can see exactly what the person is accused of and what the possible punishment range is.
