    Three strike law
    I live in Texas, and someone I know is in jail with no bond... and has three convictions of felony theft. All they are telling her is her next court date is 11.04.09. Is it bad that she don't have a bond? All I know is the judge told her it was her third felony theft conviction. So some of her family, and friends want to know if anyone has any suggestions as to what they feel may happen to her when she goes back to court. Does anyone think that could a sentencing hearing? I do know Texas is a three strike law. Can anyone please help me out, and give me some suggestions.

    Most 3 strike laws refer to violent crimes, but it could be that Texas looks at it differently. A lawyer would be the first person I would call.

    Okay do you think she will end up with some kind of jail time?

    The fact there is no bond makes me think they don't want her to leave the state and abscond. They want her to go to court and then back to jail.
