After being arrested, the offender is brought to the Anderson County Jail for booking, which is the detailed process of identifying, classifying, deciding on charges, and whether the person will either be released on their own recognizance, allowed to be released on bail, or moved into the jail until their court date.
The first thing every newly arrested person must do is close their mouth. Everything an offender says may be used against them, so the best thing to do is remain silent when questioned about the arrest and what led to it.
These are the steps of booking someone into the Anderson County Jail:
Booking can take as little as an hour, or up to 48 hours on a busy weekend or holiday evening, or if the offender is violent, wasted or generally uncooperative. If you have any questions about when you can pay an offender's bond and what the cost will be, call the facility at 903-729-6068.
When an offender is arrested and brought to the Anderson County Jail in Palestine for booking, there are several outcomes after being processed.
1. The offender will be released with no bail, promising to return on a specific date to appear before a judge in either Municipal or Anderson County Court.
2. The offender is ordered to remain in jail until their court date.
3. The offender is allowed to be released after paying a specified bond or bail. Call 903-729-6068 to get the exact amount.

How Do You Deposit Money for an Inmate in the Anderson County Jail?

Option 1 - Dropping Money at the Anderson County Jail

Option 2 - Deposit Inmate Money Online

Make the Money Order out to the inmate's name and put their Inmate ID# in memo section of the Money Order. Mail it to the Anderson County Jail address on this page, or to the address below if it is different than the facility address.
