The details of Paxton’s booking can be found at the Collin County inmate search page.
As the Statesman’s Jonathan Tilove pointed out, Paxton’s booking photo will inevitably be compared to that of former Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who was booked into the Travis County criminal justice system last year after surrendering to sheriff’s deputies. The governor was indicted Aug. 15, 2014, on two felony charges stemming from his efforts to force Travis County District Attorney Lehmberg to resign from office following her drunken driving arrest.
Perry’s mugshot famously took on a life of its own, spawning a flood of Internet memes. Perry’s own PAC even started selling T-shirts featuring the photo.
