I hear that. The judicial system in Texas sucks. I lived there for 6 years until I moved back to NY last year. I was arrested in Texas and sat there for a week without a court date before I got out. When I was in, one guy I was talking to was arrested for not paying child support. He got out the same day as me. He said he was in there for 3 months and never went to court until that day and the judge told him to start paying his child support or he would be back in there. While I agree that he should sit in jail for not paying child support, I don’t agree that he should have been in there for 3 months without a court date and without sentencing. We have a right to a speedy trial and Texas don’t care about that. I also see a lot of people getting the max 6 month sentences on first offense misdemeanors. They just sent me to anger management though. I guess I got lucky.
