Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

If your brother remains in jail, he will receive credit for the time he serves there on any prison sentence

That is the only advantage of remaining in jail other than saving the cost of bail.

Only an attorney who has reviewed the facts can provide advise on the options of trying the case versus a plea bargain.

Public defenders/court appointed attorneys must meet minimum standers, especially for felony cases. However, a hired attorney does not have to meet those same minimum standards. You can hire an attorney with more experience or less experience. It is up to you to make sure that you have an attorney with the level of experience you need.

The advantage of a plea bargain is that you control the outcome. The advantage of a trial is that it is the only option that offers the possibility of acquittal.
