Here's how it works: If you are picked up on warrants and held as a fugitive the apprehending state notifies the state that wants you. If that state still wants you they initiate action to secure a Governor's Warrant (more commonly known as a warrant of extradition. THEN - the legal process between the two states begins, to arrange your release from the apprehending state and them turning you over to the custody of the 'wanting' state. If the state that put the warrant out on you no longer desires you back, they will notify the apprehending state and they will release you, unless you are wanted for some separate offense that occurred in their state. All this takes time, longer if the extradition is being "fought' by the fugitive. I don't know where the questioner gets the idea that there is some type of timeframe for extradition. As far as I'm aware there are no statutory timeframes for the process of extradition. As long as the legal process between the two states has begun and is progressing, then it takes as long as it takes. Believe me, the apprehending state doesn't want you clogging up their jail any more than you want to be there. If the wanting state doesn't want you, the apprehending state is going to toss you out on the street ASAP. The lesson to be learned from this? When there is a warrant out for you turn yourself in and then you won't be spending weeks in someone else's jail.

∙ 13y agoIf the person is being held for extradition. once the process has begun and the extraditing state indicates to the apprehending state that they WILL extradite you - it takes as long as it takes. It is nowhere near as easy as simply driving over the state line and picking them up. A formal inter-state legal and administrative process must be begun and followed in order to legally take custody of the defendant and remove them from one state to another. If you haven't heard anything in 30 days file a Writ of Habeus Corpus to determine where the process stands

What must states do when a fugitive flees from one state to another?
They check with the state in which you committed the offense to determine if that state will extradite you. If so, you will be held until the administrative and legal process takes place that will legally allow you to be transferred back. This process is known as extradition, and does not necessarily happen overnight due to the process that must take place.

How long does Texas have to request extradition from Oklahoma?
Once the extradition process has actually started, there is no statutory timeframe set by law that it must occur within - it can take as long as it takes. It will take even longer if the arrestee fights it. It certainly takes longer than just a few days. The states have to generate paperwork and file legal papers to make sure that legal extradition takes place - all this takes time. If you wind up being held for more than 90 days you can file a writ of Habeus Corpus.
