Does anyone have any experience in getting a Defendant out of Federal (in this case INS) custody back to State Court to answer State charges? I'm told I need to file Writ of Habeas Corpus Ad Prosequendum to do this. Does anyone out there have a form or information regarding what is required in this writ. Thanks.

WE did one I beleive we called the federal pen that the def. was located. They told us step by step what to do. You almost have to sign a blood oath but it is really not complicated.

Look at the Interstate Agreement on Detainers: Art. 51.14 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure. It's a long article, but I'm pretty sure it provides for getting defendant's to Texas from federal custody as well as from other states.

I'll email you the forms necessary. You need a writ and a 10-point letter. Make sure to contact them a week or so in advance to line up your transportation.

does anyone still have the forms necessary to get an inmate from federal custody? My defendant is serving 24 months in a federal prison, but I've got a first degree felony poss of meth case pending against him.
