How long can a person be held in jail on a bench warrant in Texas as a witness?
A "bench warrant" is a warrant issued by a judge on his sole authority. Only the judge who issued the warrant can vacate the warrant. If he had to issue one to get you to court to testify, you probably won't be released until after your necessity in the court action is ended.
What exactly will happen if a person is issued a bench warrant?
If a bench warrant is issued for you, you will be arrested immediately upon being located by the sheriff or police.

If it is a "forthwith" order, you will immediately be transported directly to court and presented to the judge.
What if the person who is served a bench warrant does not show?
