You do get credit for any time you've served in the county jail before or after your sentencing, if that's what you mean. You just don't get the 2 for 1 or 3 for 1 credit the jail would give you on a county sentence. So if you've served 50 days in the county jail prior to being sentenced, and then you serve another 30 before TDCJ comes and gets you, on a 180 day sentence , you'd have 100 days left to serve at the state jail facility.
