True or False: A peace officer can arrest a person without a warrant if they believe a felony has been committed and the offender is about to escape.

The statement is true because the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure allows a peace officer to arrest without a warrant under certain conditions. Specifically, if a peace officer has probable cause to believe that a felony has been committed, and the officer believes that the suspect is about to escape, they are authorized to make an arrest to prevent the suspect from fleeing. This provision is designed to enable law enforcement to act swiftly in situations where there is an imminent likelihood that a suspect could evade justice, thereby ensuring public safety and effective enforcement of the law.

The other options do not align with the authority granted to peace officers under Texas law regarding warrantless arrests for felonies. Having a warrant is not a prerequisite in circumstances where immediate action is necessary due to the potential escape of a suspect. Additionally, the time of day does not restrict this authority, making the last option also incorrect.
