Complaint to be Filed; When
View official PDF ↗(a)Where a person is arrested without a warrant, at or before the time he is brought before the court pursuant to § 45.10, the prosecuting attorney shall file a complaint which satisfies the requirements of § 15.10 and affidavits showing probable cause to believe that an offense has been committed and that the defendant has committed it.
(b)At or before the time of the defendant’s first appearance pursuant to § 45.30, if no determination has previously been made by the court or grand jury that there is probable cause to believe that an offense has been committed and that the defendant has committed it, the court shall make such determination in the manner provided by §§ 15.20 and 15.30. The defendant shall have no right to be present at any hearing leading to such determination. If from the evidence it appears that there is no probable cause to believe that an offense has been committed or that the defendant committed it, the court shall dismiss the complaint and discharge the defendant. Such discharge shall not preclude the government from instituting a subsequent prosecution for the same offense.
