Probation Violations in Texas

Texas courts can revoke or modify the terms of your probation for failing to comply with a wide range of requirements. Our skilled criminal defense attorneys understand that many people do not intentionally commit probation violations. Mistakes can simply happen. We defend clients facing the following probation violation allegations:

• Not reporting to your probation officer
• Arrests for a new crime
• Illegal possession of a firearm
• Avoiding or failing routine drug tests
• Failing to complete mandatory counseling or classes
• Failing to finish community service
• Failing to register as a sex offender

At the request of a probation officer who believes you are guilty of a probation violation, a Texas court will issue a warrant for your arrest. Unlike your original trial, you have no right to a jury and the prosecution does not have to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt. You will be held without bail until sentencing.

We know there are typically simple explanations involved in probation violations. A knowledgeable criminal defense attorney from our firm will meet with you to discuss your available options and determine the best course of action for proving your innocence.
