Yes. If your sentence has already been passed and pronounced and the jail has a copy of it (which they certainly should) they will comply with the courts order and release you on whatever date is specified in the order.

∙ 11y agoThe answer to that quesion is a moveable target.
(in the US) AS A GENERAL STATEMENT: You must be presented to court within 72 hours of your arrest. Once that criteria is met, the "speedy trial" rule kicks in and you are under a 90-day time limit to be presented for trial.
HOWEVER, certain extenuating circumstances can occur to delay the actual start of the trial itself. The prosecution may request, and be granted, additional time to gather the evidence in the case and prepare for trial.
But - WHAT IS MORE LIKELY TO OCCUR, is that the DEFENSE attorney requests a continuance so that THEY can prepare for trial. So long as the defense attorney keeps requesting, or agreeing to, continuances the trial can be postponed and put off. As long as the requests and grants are made part of the courts record it is possible that this could occur several times prior to the case actually going to trial.

How do you get a change of venue from one county to another in Texas?
You or your defense attorney will have to file a motion for the change of venue to the court. A hearing will be held prior to the trial and you will have to argue why and for what reason you are requesting the change. Usually its because the defendant can not have a fair trail in the original county where the charges where filed. This is usually due to high publicity cases where there is intense media coverage.
