Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

Why on Earth would he want to "sign a pre indictment plea for the Xanax charge?" I assume you mean a guilty plea with a plea bargain of some sort. If he is on parole, they apparently issued a blue warrant (parole violation warrant) which is not subject to bail. Normally the county with the Xanax charge would eventually come get him as parole revocation hearings can be done statewide and from you information, the county where he was arrested on the parole warrant has no charges of its own.

Since you say the Xanax was not his, it may be that he can be exonerated on that charge. Possession has a legal definition and it requires the prosecution to be able to prove he had actual care, custody, control or management over the substance. Going with that is a requirement that they be able to prove he knew it was there. I don't have enough information to determine what his chances are, but if he pleads guilty to something while on parole, it makes it easy for them to revoke his parole and return him to prison. Not a good idea in my book. I am generally not in favor of pleading guilty to something that my client is not guilty of in the first place.

You should consult with a Board Certified Criminal Law Specialist who can review the case more carefully and provide a more solid opinion.
