Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

Because it was not your fault that you were released, you should get time credit during the time that you are out BUT it depends heavily on what the warrant is for. Do you have a pending case? If so, then you must answer that case. If you just had time to serve out on an old case, then you should get "street" credit - one of the few times that actually applies.

Ms. Henley's correct, but just to clarify what she's saying, since it wasn't your fault you were released, you'll get credit towards any sentence you already have OR receive in the future (if you have a case that hadn't come before the court yet). Whether you will be arrested again legally depends on which scenario it is, since even if you'd be eligible for a time-served offer on a pending case and would want to take it, you'd still have to go to court on the case, so yes, they'd issue another warrant. Honestly, I imagine there's a good possibilty they might anyway, even if you had more than "served out" whatever time you had owing on a sentence counting street time--you're definitely entitled to the street time, but not many people are aware of that. I kind of have my doubts as to whether they'd comply with the law on that or just push the warrant paperwork through and leave it to someone else to straighten out the mess later, so don't assume this is taken care of. Good luck.
