Understanding the Consequences
Under Texas law, there are a wide variety of ways you can violate your probation, including:
- Committing a crime
- Failing to report in to the probation officer
- Driving without a license
- Failing to report any changes in address or phone number
- Leaving your designated travel area
- Possessing drugs, alcohol or drug paraphernalia
- Violating a restraining order
- And other acts
These probation violations have different consequences depending on the terms of your probation and the seriousness of the violation. You may receive a warning for failing to report in to your probation officer, but you could face jail time for committing a crime. I understand Texas law and the penalties you potentially face and am committed to helping you obtain the best possible outcome in your case.
