Is Cite and Release being used in my Community?
Despite the tremendous benefits, most law enforcement agencies in Texas have chosen to not implement Cite and Release due to a variety of reasons from even being unaware of the option to petty jurisdictional squabbles which prevent the creation of the infrastructure needed to implement the policy.
Only Travis, Hays, Navarro and Palo Pinto counties, along with the cities of Austin and San Marcos have implemented the policy giving officers an option and even in these places use of cite and release has been sporadic and arbitrary.
