    Default Arrest Warrant for Retail Theft

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: tx

    So my girlfriend was arrested about 6 months ago for theft at walmart. The police said they were letting her go with a warning but they did take her down to the station and get all her information. Today the police showed up at her mothers house looking for her and told her mother that she had witnessed something and that they had to take her in for questioning. We called and they told us the same thing. Her uncle called and they told him that she has a warrant out for her arrest and her bond will be 500$. We cannot get any information on her bond or anything and the PD won't tell us anything.
    We were thinking that she should just turn herself in and the county jail and I go with her to bail her out. If we do this how long about would this process take?

    How long it will take depends on too many factors to predict. It could take 30 minutes or it could take all day. However, it will probably not take more than 3-4 hours.

    Are you sure that the warrant is for this old theft charge or could it be something new?

    Well she turned herself in and it was for the theft 6 months ago. She has a court date to go to and I'm wondering what she needs to do in court. Does she plead innocent or guilty or what. It's a class b misdamenor and she can't afford an attorney.

    Her best bet would be to plead not guilty and ask for a public defender if she is indigent and can not afford counsel.
