It's a Class A misdemeanor when he was arrested he gave a false name and is accused of theft so will that make him have more time or is that year still the maximum?

Depends on whether the run sentences consecutively or concurrently. If concurrently then 1 year is the maximum. Best bet is to plea to the theft and plea-and-bar the failure to ID. Meaning, he admits his guilt to the failure to ID but the prosecutor agrees to bar prosecution of the case. No conviction of that charge and only exposed to up to 180 days.

thank you

You are welcome.

If he was arrested in houston but he's on juvenile probation in a different county will the probation officer and the county police already be notified he's in custody or is that another thing he has to tackle later on. Basically I'm asking will all charges be taken care of all at once.
