Yes, if the LEO observes you in the commission of a crime and/or has probable cause. Warrants are generally only required for crimes not observed by law enforcement, but after sufficient evidence (or probable cause) has been obtained through investigative or forensic work.
Added: Also - if you are 'wanted' on a warrant and the LEO sees and identifies you as the wanted subject, they do NOT need the warrant in their possession to 'serve' it and arrest you on the spot. Their mere knowledge of its existence is sufficient.

When the police book you in after they arrest you without a warrant can they charge you with a crime before they get a warrant in the state of Texas?
A warrant is an order for an arrest issued by the court. But many arrests do not need a warrant. If you punch someone in the face, and police are called, you will be arrested without a warrant, and one will not be needed. If say, you failed to show up in court, then a warrant for your arrest will be issued, to alert all officers that you should be arrested on sight. So the warrant itself is not the thing 'allowing' you to be arrested.
Can the police search the premises without first showing a search warrant?
Yes, the officer may search. Police may search a building if they reasonably believe a valid search warrant has been issued. They do not have to possess the search warrant.
