    I I'm already in county jail and I have another court date in a different county what do I need to do to keep warrants off me?

    Talk to whoever is in charge at the jail your in now, they should be able to arrange for you to be there... I would assume.

    Hello jeff:

    In fact, one county could care less that you have court appointments somewhere else. When the first one is done with you, the second one will have it's shot.

    Hello again, lowtax:

    Oh, they do, they do! So they’re not going to let him go. They’re going to make sure they’re done with him, and then they’ll hand him off in cuffs to the other county. Then he starts all over.

    You do need to notify the other court that you are in jail in the county.

    If you are out on bond, they may continue their bond, or revoke it.
    If they revoke it, a hold will be put on you to take you to the other county when you get released from the first one.

    Locally if the two counties are real close they may transport you for trial, but normally the other case just gets continued till you are done with the one county

    Yes it is not like TV where they fly you from one state to another for parking tickets

    I was thinking more of a bus

    Bu seriously, I guess after thinking about it it does make sense, finish with one system and then get handed off to the other...
