(1) the cost of detainment for each day that the person is detained in the county jail;
(2) the cost to the county for any medical services provided to the person that are outside of those minor medical services already included in the cost of detainment;
(3) the county's cost per case estimate for a felony case, not to exceed $2,000 per case; and
(4) any other costs related to the judicial process with respect to the person.
(c) Before requesting a county to detain a person in a county jail for an offense under Section 38.20, the state shall enter into a contract with the county to specify the amount or rate associated with each cost described by Subsections (b)(1), (2), (3), and (4) for which the state will compensate the county under this article.
