Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

Held Under Federal Law (U.S. Marshal)

I am researching my relative's criminal acts. He/She was put in jail for stealing around $10,000 or more from a doctor's office he/she was working at. He/She has also been arrested before for drugs I believe. He/She has been in jail for a couple of month's and I was told he/she is being held by the U.S. Marshal. Right now he/she is in a County Jail but I don't think he/she has had her trial or sentence yet. I would like to know what this may mean or get more information on federal law with this kind of money. I would also like to know what "being held by the U.S. Marshal" means exactly. Your answer to this question will be greatly appreciated.

Re: Held Under Federal Law (U.S. Marshal)

It seems that your freind is in federal custody. Federal Court takes a fair bit of time to finish . Its odd that there has been no bond set. I would be happy to discuss this matter with you if you want to call me at 512 392 5010 me email me at [email protected]
