husband sentenced to 120 dys for first off.

What is the name of your state? Texas

My husband was sentenced to 120 days jail time for dwi with open container. We have been wondering if he will serve all 120 dys. or only a portion. any responses would be valued. He already has done 65dys.

There would seem to be something more to this story than you are letting on. An actual 120 day sentence would be uncommon.

Yes, why did he get off so easy?

He is already more than half way there. I would use the rest of the time to relax and do the things you want to do.

Gotta be more to the story...

Yeah, I mean 120 days for a first offense...... Something's gotta be missing from this story.

If it's time as a condition of probation, he has to serve the whole 120 days.

Otherwise, he should be getting "good conduct time," which would cut his time in half.

Call the jail and ask. They should be able to tell you his release date, and whether he's getting 2 for 1 credit, or has court costs or fines to pay.
