Hire a lawyer in those counties to represent him.

If he has detainers against him, he is getting credit on each case for which he has a detainer or is in custody. (They do not have to file detainers and if they don't, he gets no credit on those cases.)

When he finishes in Harris County, he will be sent to any county with a detainer first. If none, he will be sent to prison / state jail.
