Texas Order Scheduling a Detention Hearing is a form of legal proceeding that is used when a person has been arrested and charged with a crime and is awaiting trial. The purpose of the hearing is to determine if the individual should be held in detention or released on bail until the trial begins. The hearing is conducted in front of a judge and typically involves a prosecutor, defense attorney, and witnesses. The judge will consider the evidence presented in order to make a ruling on whether the accused should be detained or released on bail. There are two types of Texas Order Scheduling a Detention Hearing: a Preliminary Detention Hearing and a Final Detention Hearing. The Preliminary Detention Hearing is held shortly after the arrest and is used to determine if the accused should be held or released on bail. The Final Detention Hearing is typically held closer to the trial date and is used to decide if the accused should remain in detention until the trial begins.
