I have unpaid tickets that turned to warrants in Tarrant county and was wondering how I go about finding out the amount of time it would take to sit out $3,400 worth of tickets.

Answer

Each municipal court may specify the period of time a defendant must remain in jail to satisfy fines and court costs (See Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, Article 45.048). The MINIMUM credit is $50 per 24 hour period; the Court, in its discretion may grant more credit.
