Federal law states that outside agencies have two weeks from the time a person is booked into jail to come pick them up for charges against them.

A person can be held in custody for an investigation and when a case is already filed against him unless bail is filed if applicable. For extradition, the state of Utah can held on to the prisoner while awaiting for transfer to Texas.
