I know someone that's in jail at the moment she was arrested at her last court date for felony theft. It's her 3rd offense for the same crime, and she has no bond. Does this mean she will most like go under the three strike law?

Depending on what state she could fall under the 3 strikes law.

It depends on the offense, and whether your state has a "3 strikes law" for that particular offense.

But why would she have not got a bond? She just got her next court date already... She just got out of state jail last year for felony theft she stole a pair of diamond earrings from a jewerly store

If someone went to state jail for six months for felony theft of a pair of diamond earrings from a jewerly store... and has previous convictions of theft and the court also stated to her this was her third offense, and was arrested in court with no bond. I know Texas is a three strike law state. I'm just trying to get some advice on what may happen to her. She was told she was a habitual offender by the courts... that's not a good thing right?

She is in jail and it appears the court felt she was a flight risk or on a third felony there just is no bond.

If no bond hearing was made or done, then obviously there is no bond.
Yes they may try and do it under the three strikes

Right, having the Court tell you you're a habitual offender is not a good thing.
