Because most offenses occur within their presence or under conditions under which there is 'fresh pursuit. Also, due to the fact that the identify of the actual offender and their physical appearance, and addresses of the wanted offenders is known. Warrants are necessary for offenses in which the identity of the offender is not immediately known or clear, and require investigation and the development of probable cause to make an arrest, or for misdemeanors which do not occur in the officers presence. Traffic offenses are, of course, self-explanatory.

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.
