How long does an arrest warrant stay active?

My Husband is in Carson County jail (has no charges in this County) but has a warrant in Comal county. How long dose Comal have to come and get him before Carson can release him?

Usually there is no expiration date on the warrant.

Usually there is no expiration date on the warrant. As long as the judge keeps the warrant active, the sheriff will have the obligation to serve the arrest.
