A custody/arrest may be performed for all offenses under the TRC except?

The correct answer reflects the understanding that certain traffic violations, such as speeding, are typically classified as misdemeanors or infractions and do not generally warrant an arrest or custody of the individual involved. In many jurisdictions, including those that follow the Texas Transportation Code (TRC), minor traffic offenses are handled through citations rather than arrest. This allows officers to address such violations while keeping the flow of traffic moving and holding individuals accountable through fines or penalties, rather than detaining them.

In contrast, offenses such as driving without a valid license and more serious infractions—particularly those that might endanger others or are repeated violations—could lead to arrest due to their more severe nature and potential implications for public safety. Texting while driving is also a behavioral offense linked to distracted driving, which can have serious consequences, thus allowing for enforcement actions that may include arrest under specific circumstances. Running a red light can also pose a significant threat to public safety and can lead law enforcement to take stronger actions, including arrest if deemed necessary.
