Harris County Constable Precinct 4 deputies arrested an adult male on Wednesday near the 12400 block of Berry Lane, according to the constable’s office. Deputies allege the man is a felon who was illegally carrying a firearm and that he also had active Class C warrants.
What the constable posted
In a Facebook update from Constable Mark Herman's office, officials said deputies working near the 12400 block of Berry Lane detained an adult male who was charged with unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon. The post also notes that the man had active Class C warrants, shows photos from the scene, and urges residents to follow the precinct’s social media accounts and download the “C4 NOW” app for ongoing updates. The office published the post Wednesday evening while deputies were still processing the scene.
What a Class C warrant means
Class C warrants usually come from low-level, fine-only offenses, often traffic tickets, and are commonly issued when someone does not appear in municipal or justice court, as explained by Round Rock's municipal court. While a Class C misdemeanor itself typically results in a fine instead of jail time, an outstanding warrant tied to that case can still lead to an arrest if officers find the person.
Felon-in-possession charge explained
Under Texas law, unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon is charged as a felony. Texas Penal Code §46.04 makes it an offense for a person with a prior felony conviction to possess a firearm, and a conviction can bring significant prison time and fines. To prove that charge, prosecutors must show the defendant has at least one prior felony conviction, as required by the statute.

Hoodline has previously covered similar Precinct 4 warrant operations, including a recent Tomball warrant bust, and posts like those often serve as the first public updates while investigators finish processing the scene.
