Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

You should hire a lawyer to represent you. The lawer may be able to get the bond reinstated if you did not have notice to appear. There ma also be a speedy trial issue - the State presumably knew where you were for the 2 years you were in custody and made no effort to have you bench warranted to take care of your case. (They probably did not have a detainer on you either since you were released out of custody which means that you will not be getting any credit on the other case.)

A little late to say this now but if you had a lawyer representing you on the original theft by check case then they should have had your bond turned in when you were arrested on the 2nd case so that it might trigger the State to do something. (While I suggest there may be a speedy trial issue, fact is that if you were on bond it is going to be tough to prove. However, it is an argument that at least can be pushed in an effort to work out your case for something doable.)
