See the first two answers (and kudos to jlosdad for quoting the statute).
As to the second part of your question -- if someone is not released on bail, or doesn't pay the bail, they remain in custody until the trial.

§ 43.02. PROSTITUTION. (a) A person commits an offense
if he knowingly:
(1) offers to engage, agrees to engage, or engages in
sexual conduct for a fee; or
(2) solicits another in a public place to engage with
him in sexual conduct for hire.
(b) An offense is established under Subsection (a)(1)
whether the actor is to receive or pay a fee. An offense is
established under Subsection (a)(2) whether the actor solicits a

It is a misdemeanor offense. As for the length of time in jail, that is determined by the judge. The more times arrested the longer the stay.

Misdemeanor, class B, unless there are two previous convictions, then it becomes class A. Pimping is a felony.

It's only a misdemeanor everywhere. They should probably legalize it and consider it a public service instead.
