We were thrilled to read about it in the local paper, the San Diego Union Tribune!
Hurrah, it's just too bad that he deprived the Democrats of well deserved footage of his arrest.
Here is an article on it:
DeLay Quietly Surrenders to a Texas Sheriff

HOUSTON, Oct. 20 - Representative Tom DeLay, forced by criminal charges to step aside last month as House majority leader, was fingerprinted, photographed and released on $10,000 bond Thursday after turning himself in at the Harris County sheriff's office in downtown Houston.

The booking photo of Tom DeLay was taken soon after he surrendered Thursday in Houston.
Forum: The 109th Congress
The booking photo of Mr. DeLay, whose surrender was carefully choreographed, showed him smiling, his Congressional pin visible on his suit lapel, and did not include booking numbers that many associate with a mug shot. His allies on Capitol Hill joked that the picture was suitable for the Congressional Directory.
"I just may use that photographer for my family Christmas photo," Kevin Madden, a spokesman for Mr. DeLay, said in Washington.
Mr. DeLay had been expected to surrender in adjacent Fort Bend County, his home. By doing so here instead, he avoided a scrum of about 25 journalists waiting outside the Fort Bend sheriff's office, many with cameras. Democrats were thus deprived of powerful videotape.
