James Harden arrested in Houston on weapons charge
James Harden was arrested in Houston on a misdemeanor weapons charge, then released on a $100 personal bond and set for a June 22 court date.
Court records show James Harden was arrested in Houston on a misdemeanor charge of unlawful carrying of a weapon in a motor vehicle, a case now moving through Harris County’s criminal courts. Harden was released on a $100 personal bond and is scheduled to appear in court on June 22.
The charge falls under Texas Penal Code Chapter 46, which covers unlawful carrying of a handgun in a motor vehicle and the plain-view display of a handgun in public. Under that law, a person can commit an offense by carrying a handgun in a vehicle under certain conditions, and the statute also makes it an offense to intentionally display a handgun in plain view of another person in a public place.
Local reporting said police allegedly found a handgun in plain view inside Harden’s vehicle. The arrest was confirmed through Harris County District Clerk records, which are used to track criminal cases, bond information and court settings in the county.
The District Clerk’s office says questions about bond conditions should be directed to an attorney, and that personal-bond issues are handled through Harris County Pretrial Services. That means the next public checkpoint in the case will be the June 22 court appearance, where the charge, bond status and any next steps will move before a Harris County judge under the same process that applies to any defendant in the county.
