Production note: Prepared and reviewed by the Registry Recognizer Editorial Desk from the Bowie County jail booking record, retained and hash-verified, and the official Texas Penal Code. The booking source publishes an offense code (40040009) but no statute section for either entry; the legal description is general context from the Penal Code. The roster does not name the agency behind the hold. Court records were not searched: our case-document tools have no configured court source for Bowie County, Texas (enrichment run 2026-09-28, result "no source"), so the absence of a recorded disposition reflects the booking record only. Booking and arrest times are omitted because the roster lists an arrest time later than the booking time.
Sunshine Lynn Allday, 42, was booked into the Bowie County Detention Center in Texarkana, Texas, on September 25, 2026, according to the Bowie County jail booking record. The record lists the Texarkana, Texas, Police Department as the arresting agency and describes the arrest as an on-view arrest.
The booking record lists two entries:
- Prostitution, recorded as a Class B misdemeanor.
- Hold for another agency, which the roster classes as a Class Y felony. A hold means the jail is detaining a person on behalf of a different agency. The record does not name that agency or the matter behind the hold, and the hold is not a charge filed by the Texarkana police.
The booking record lists a bond of $5,000.
Under Texas Penal Code Section 43.02, a person commits prostitution by knowingly offering or agreeing to receive a fee from another person to engage in sexual conduct. A first offense is a Class B misdemeanor; the statute raises the grade when a person has prior convictions under the same section. Under Section 12.22, a Class B misdemeanor is punishable upon conviction by a fine of up to $2,000, up to 180 days in jail, or both. The booking record does not publish a statute section for either entry, so this description is general legal context from the official Penal Code rather than a citation taken from the roster.
No court disposition is recorded for this booking. A booking record lists allegations and does not establish guilt; Allday is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
