Bexar County commissioners plan to push the Texas Legislature to make more crimes eligible for cite-and-release programs. Working with the county D-A's office, San Antonio police and county deputies can already issue a citation instead of arresting a person for some misdemeanors, such as pot possession. State law limits what crimes are eligible for cite-and-release. County commissioners agreed Tuesday to try to get state lawmakers to add prostitution, possession of drugs other than pot, and higher-level criminal mischief to the list.
