My buddy lives in Houston, TX, and he was charged w/ misdemeanor & convicted back in 2004 for assaulting his wife, (2'nd marriage.) In 12/2006 he was arrested & charged w/ 2'nd misdemeanor - assault/bodily injury f/ assaulting wife, (2'nd marriage.) Bond set @ $5K, he paid $500 & released from jail. He received a 3'rd charge (FELONY) - assault w/deadly weapon in 2/2007, (2'nd marriage.) Bond $$ for the 2'nd misdemeanor was enhanced to a FELONY @ $50K. He was charged - 3r'd time (FELONY) in 2/2007 - assault w/ deadly weapon, (2'nd marriage.) Bond set at $0 bond. He's still in jail. Arraingment is set in a week or so in court.
NOTE: He's been in jail & prison in the past, i.e. possession of drugs, selling drugs, traffic tickets, welfare fraud, bad checks, domestic violence/1'st marraiage. I think his fate will depend a lot on the prosecutor, judge & criminal history. So, what's the likelihood he'll get probation or end up in prison? If he goes 2 prison, what's the min/max time?

He has no chance of getting probation. He is on no-bail now because of his increasingly violent conduct.
Texas is a crap shoot - you can get 20 years for 2 joints, but I would estimate the sentencing guidelines to be 5-10 years in the pen.
Too bad it can't be more, this guy sounds like a menace to society.
You should get better buddies.

My son is in jail for his 2nd 2nd degree assault. H went to prison and was there for a few months. I believe that he will now get an automatic sentence again and cannot find anywhere on the internet that will explain to me what will transpire. HELP

If convicted he is going to prison. The length of time depends on the judge, it could be a very long time if the judge feels he is a career criminal..

I suggest you find a decent and moral friend-not someone who has lived a life of crime. Hopefully, he will get a lot of jail time and realize he is just a goof. So many people like this do come to their senses and your friend does need to work on him self.
