Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas
My daughter was arrested on capias warrants for offenses in two separate counties in Texas. One is a state felony, the other a misdemeanor. She has failure to appear charges in both dispositions. She is currently in jail in a different county in Texas. Will they take her to the county in which she committed the offenses to wait for trial and to stand trial?

Generally, before releasing her, the county where she is now will check to see if she has any warrants. They will then notify the other county or counties to come and pick her up. If they don't do so after a period of time (ten days in Bexar County) then she will be released. She will still have the outstanding warrants.

If you retain an attorney, it may be possible to negotiate plea bargain (s) that give her credit for the time she serves in the third county.
