My question involves criminal law for the state of: Texas and California
My bf just got arrested for forgery of a financial institution in TX bc he tried to cash a check that he thought was his first paycheck for a job he took over the internet. His sheet says it's a state jail felony. He has not yet been to court for this so I am unsure how much time he is getting for this. He is also facing extradition to Cali and they have already issued a fugitive warrant for him since we waived his right to extradition and in-court appearance. His charge that he was on parole for was a misdemeanor petty theft charge but he has two strikes against him. My questions are: How much time could he be facing? Is eligible for half time or 85% time when he gets back to Cali? The TX jail is not telling him anything nor has a lawyer stopped by to see him.
