Huntsville, TX asked in Criminal Law for Texas

Q: How long is typical for a county jail to hold a person for another county in Texas...concerning probation violations?

Also,once arrested, they placed him in maximum security at the jail in Houston, TX. He states that there was no violence or verbal threat, etc. whatsoever. He doesn't understand why he has been placed there and OF COURSE, they won't tell him.
