In Texas criminal law, what does precept return mean after the indictment is filed?

I don't know that you are using that in context correctly.  Here is a definition for you, though...\n\nHope it helps.\n\nIn secular law, a precept is a command in writing; a species of writ or process issuing from a court or other legal authority. It is now chiefly used of an order demanding payment. The Latin form praecipe (i.e. enjoin, command) is used of the note of instructions delivered by a plaintiff or his lawyer to be filed by the officer of the court, giving the names of the plaintiff and defendant.

Within some criminal justice systems, a preliminary hearing (evidentiary hearing) is a proceeding, after a criminal complaint has been filed by the prosecutor, to determine whether, and to what extent, criminal charges and civil cause of actions will be heard (by a court), what evidence will be admitted, and what else must be done (before a case can proceed). At such a hearing, the defendant may be assisted by counsel, indeed in many jurisdictions there is a right to counsel at the preliminary hearing. Contrast this with the jurisdictions such as the United States, where a person may be charged, instead, by seeking a "true bill of indictment" before a grand jury; where counsel is not normally permitted. The conduct of the preliminary hearing as well as the specific rules regarding the admissibility of evidence vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Should the court decide that there is probable cause, a formal charging instrument (called the Information) will issue; and the prosecution will continue. If the court should find that there is no probable cause, then typically the prosecution will cease. However, many jurisdictions allow the prosecution to seek a new preliminary hearing, or even seek a bill of indictment from a grand jury.\n\nSome important questions, generally addressed in such a hearing, are:\n\n1) Did the alleged crime occur within the court's jurisdiction? \n2) Is there probable cause, to believe that the defendant committed the crime?

Your bondsman is correct.  The purpose of bail is to ensure that the  bonded individual appears for court.  If the case is ongoing and requires more than one appearance, then your money will be returned after the case is over and the defendant has appeared every day.  If the case requires a single appearance, then you should get your money back after that appearance.  However, bear in mind, you will not get it back immediately.  It usually takes three to six weeks for bail to be returned after the hearing is complete.\n\nK

Wait.  You're convicted of a misdemeanor in California, let's say.\n\nThen you go to Nevada, and you get stopped.\n\nWhy would California extradite you, since you're already convicted?  You realize that "convicted" means you're already found guilty, right?\n\nI'm guessing your question doesn't really ask what you want to know.  Wanna' take another stab at it?

That really depends.  If the warrant is in NCIC they will notify Missouri.  If the crime is not a felony or punishable by one year or in jail...YOU CAN NOT BE EXTRADITED.  The Uniform Compant on extradition requires the crime to be a felony and or punishable by one year or more.  That's it.  That's the statue.  All you pro-law enforcement types have to deal with it.  Don't like it, get someone else elected who will change the compact and then get all of the member states to agree (GOOD LUCK).  If it is a felony, then my advice would be to waive extradition.  They stand about a 50/50 chance of coming.  After about 20-30 days, if they haven't retrieved you, you will most likely get a bail or be released.  BTW-Enjoy this only 48% of fugitives are actually extradited.  The lower the charge and the higher the distance and the chances drop even more.  There are a couple of companies out there TRANSCOR and MIDSTATE that offer cost alternatives to the sheriff coming to get you, but it still costs money.  In the real world (THE ONE THAT MOST PRO LAW PEOPLE DON'T ACKNOWLEDGE) certain crimes are not worth punishing if it gets too expensive for the taxpayer.  \n\nIn any case the answer to your question is maybe.  Don't listen to anyone who tells you that you did the crime, do the time.  These people are insensitive and self righteous.  They don't understand what they are saying.  They have been raised to be hateful and have bought the current conservative pro-law lie hook, line, and sinker.  They are the first people to want mercy when they get in trouble.  Also, very often, they want to feel better about themselves.  They think that because they aren't breaking the law that they are somehow BETTER than people who do.  They need to feel like they are productive members of society.  These people tend to be angry, white, middle class, professionals, who don't have enough insight, education, or class to understand compassion and forgiveness.  Ironically, these folks are often active Christians who purport to be forgiving.\n\nGood luck.\n\nPS:  Anyone who wants to argue with what I've said has to realize that low level fugitives are not really sought by the police.  They wait for them to turn up.  If you are a fugitive and you want to turn yourself in and handle it, I encourage that.  However, if you didn't really do anything heinous and want to go on with your life, just avoid police contact and you will likely be ok.

If you were acquitted, there will be no record so it will not affect your job search. You need not even list it on an application. That being said, I have seen many potential employees with similar questions and found over the years that "thrown out of court" can mean numerous other outcomes besides acquittal. If you received a STET docket or PBJ, those are different than innocence. The charges exist and essentially the state and yourself agree that the state has enough evidence to convict you but the elect to not try the case. If this was the real outcome it could certainly have a negative impact on your job search unless it was expunged.

Your friend will probably get a fine for this violation.  He will go through a few court dates.  The arraignment, he is advised of his charges.  The initial appearance, he enters a plea (guilty, not guilty, no contest).  If no contest or guilty, he basically has plead guilty and explains to the judge.  If not guilty, he will then be set for a pre-trial conference.  The prosecutor offers a plea deal.  If not accepted, you go to trial.  The court determines the sentence.  Most likely fine.

What book are you referring to?  Have you heard of California's "3-strikes" law? It's when a felon who's been convicted of 2 felonies is arrested and convicted for a 3rd felony. That felon is then sentenced to life in prison for being a repeat felony offender. Sound harsh? Read up on it more in your search engine, under "3-strikes law". \nPretty intersting stuff, and there's discussions on both sides of the topic.

A duty to the court means just that.  ie If you tell your lawyer you killed someone but then under oath state that you didn't kill someone your lawyer has a "duty to the court" to inform the judge that you just lied since your lawyer is acting as an officer of the court.  This could be the reason they would withdraw since you've already told them you commited the crime and they would have a duty to the court to tell them you were lying if you said otherwise under oath.

I have had friends in jails in the Texas system and I know guards in the Texas prison system and because I have asked this very question myself,I will TRY to my best ability to answer your question.\nAs it stands for now,the person with the earliest release date of May 2008 this means if that person spends all of their required time this is the earliest they can get out.\nIf they have a parole hearing Dec 2006,this could prove to be the release date or soon after that date, provided the prisioner meets the criteria for release.\nIf the prisoner does not meet criteria for release then there is another parole hearing in March 2008 prior to the scheduled release date if the prisoner has to fulfill their whole sentence.\nIt is the practice of the legal system to make the prisoner as safe as possible before release therefore they preset parole board hearings and during that time they watch the prisioner and document all behavior that could adversely affect their parole date.\nThey also try desperately to keep outsiders from really knowing what is going on legally with the prisoner so that they can maintain the utmost security on that prisoner and in the prison system.\nI hope that I have helped some but keep in mind,I am explaining this as best I can given the information I have been given and I may not have explained it very clearly.\n\nGood Luck

The imprisonment is about 6 months to 12 years depending upon the evidence presented and the defense adopted by your friend's husband.  The crime commited is already a grave offense because it involves fraud.

If he paid a bail bondsman, no that money is never returned.  The bondsman charges about 10 percent of the bond as his fee.  if the bond is 100,000, you will have to pay him 10,000 dollars and he keeps that money as his fee.\n\nIf you paid the court directly the 100,000 or put up your house, then you get it back from them.

In the state of Missouri, a C felony is punishable 1 to 7 yrs incarceration. I have 3 C felony's for possesion of a controled substance (meth) and a D felony on my record. With the third C felony, the courts did indict me and because I then had three C's, charged me with Prior & Persistant Which is a B felony and carries 5-15 yrs doc.\n I was lucky and had a decent lawyer, he got the Prosucuting Attn to agree not to give me anymore than three yrs. For that to be possible, 3 yrs, it had to be brought back down to a C. \n    D felony is, I think  1-4yrs not real sure on that one. \nI know for a fact that a C felony is 1-7 yrs 1 being the least the judge might give, 7 being the max he is allowed to give.\n My first offense I got caught with about 2 grams of meth, I received 5 yrs probation with 2 yrs SIS. SIS is suspended imposition of sentance. that means I go on probation for 5 yrs, if at anytime in that 5 yrs I commit the same or any other crimes, or receive a number of many possible violations of probation, I go to prison to serve the 2 yrs.\n  \n(the rest of the story, I ended up serving 120 day shock on the first charge because I got the second charge... was allowed back on probation after the 120 days, with 3 yrs back up for the second charge, violated probation, technicalities and served 6 months of the three yr sentance. got the third charge a few yrs later by being in th e wrong place at the wrong time... event though I had learned my lesson. and got another 3 yrs and served 6 months on that).... all done now....no more for me ty.lol) \n\n Depending on the amount he was caught with and extenuating circumstances, if not a lot, and no prior record, and a fairly decent lawyer, he'll most likely get probation.
