Although they can't hold you forever, if you are being held in 'County A' because of an active Warrant in 'County B' AND you are in the same state, there is no maximum hold time set by statute. A warrant from one county within the same state for a violation of a state criminal law holds the same weight, regardless of which county the individual was arrested in.
County hold means that you have a outstanding arrest warrant in another county and you are being held for 10 days. The other county has 10 days to pick you up or you will be released from jail as long as you do not have a case pending in the county you are in jail at.
The duration a jail can hold an individual on a warrant from another county varies by jurisdiction. Typically, a jail may hold someone on a warrant for a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on local laws and the process for extradition. In the case of child support warrants, the specific policies can differ, so it's advisable to consult with a legal professional or the relevant authorities for accurate information.
When you have served your period of incarceration in the first county, before they release you they should check to see if there are any other "criminal holds" on you. When they find the bench warrant they will hold you for the other county to come get you and return you to the court that issued the bench warrant.
When a person is being held in a county jail on warrant from another county, then a bail bond cannot be posted until that person has been transported to the county which issued the warrant.
Perhaps there is a new charge or VOP warrant issued after the first county released you.
Counties are only allowed to hold you for 10 days... If the other county doesn't come get you then the county you are in has to let you go!
You stay in jail.
In Texas, a county jail can hold an inmate on an out-of-county warrant typically for up to 10 days without formal extradition proceedings. If the originating county does not pick up the inmate within that time, the jail may release the individual. However, specific policies can vary by county, so it's essential to check with the local jail for their procedures. Additionally, if the inmate is facing other charges, they may be held longer.
My understanding is that they have 90 days to either have you picked up or have to release you to your own recognizance.
Until they are picked up by the county that holds the warrant.Added: The term "Extradition" is used only when referring to out-of-state warrants.
The jail should book you on the warrant and complete the return of service to clear the warrant. You will have to answer the new warrant before release.
A Bench Warrant is issued by a judge and unless the warrant is 'quashed' or withdrawn by that judge, the hold will stay in effect. However, if there is some untimely delay in picking the inmate up and returning him to the where he is 'wanted' he could file a Writ of Habeus Corpus, the outcome which will have the effect of either releasing him or expediting his return.
