San Antonio, TX asked in Criminal Law and Constitutional Law for Texas

Q: How long can one county hold you for another in Texas on a blue warrant for different county ??

I was pulled over for speeding, my bf had a blue warrant. He didn’t report the last 7 months of parole.

We got pulled over in A different county & reside in another where warrant was issued late last year. Arresting officers and his lawyer (who I can’t get a hold of since one visit he made to jail) said the hold would be lifted in 10 days if our county didn’t pick him up & be let out. Does this mean regular days or business days?? They both had different answers but both said 10 days. He was taken in on the 7th of this month. Please tell me my options when his lawyer won’t return calls & the jail won’t confirm what arresting officers told us! Thank you
