Are There Prosecutors At The Travis County Jail?

Since 2021, since the new county attorney in the district attorney, they review arrest at the initial stage, and this is very forward thinking something similar to what Houston has done in the past where prosecutors accept the charge or reject their charge on the front end, so that people don’t waste time in the court system, for no reason.

And the Travis County Jail, currently, the Travis County prosecutors are very lenient on drug possession charges. And so those almost always get rejected at the front end, but other charges like DWI and assault are still treated very seriously by them.
