Probation Violation Allegations

Probation offers you the opportunity to start again. By avoiding incarceration, you can serve your sentence while recovering and moving on with your life. Court-ordered probation keeps you out of jail, and as long as you follow the guidelines set forth until the conclusion of your probationary period, it ensures you stay free. If you break any of the guidelines, however, you violate your probation, which can have devastating effects.

  • Frequently Asked Questions:

    What happens if I violate probation in Texas?

    A probation violation can lead to court proceedings and potentially additional conditions, sanctions, or revocation of probation. The consequences depend on the alleged violation, the original offense, your probation history, and the court's decision.

    Can you go to jail for violating probation in Texas?

    Yes. A judge may revoke probation and impose incarceration when a violation is proven. However, revocation is not the only possible outcome, and the circumstances surrounding the alleged violation can matter significantly.

    What are common probation violations in Texas?

    Common allegations include failing a drug or alcohol test, missing appointments with a probation officer, failing to complete required classes or community service, failing to pay required fees, committing a new offense, or violating travel or contact restrictions.

    What happens if I fail a drug test while on probation?

    A failed drug test can be alleged as a probation violation. What happens next depends on the terms of your probation, your history of compliance, the circumstances surrounding the test, and how the court and probation department handle the alleged violation.

    Can probation be revoked for missing an appointment?

    Potentially. Missing a required meeting with a probation officer may constitute a violation. The reason for the missed appointment and your overall compliance with probation may be important when responding to the allegation.

    Can a probation violation be dismissed in Texas?

    An alleged violation does not automatically mean probation will be revoked. The defense may dispute whether a violation actually occurred, challenge the evidence, explain mitigating circumstances, or seek an outcome that allows the person to continue probation.

    Do I need a lawyer for a probation violation hearing in Fort Worth?

    Because a probation violation can put your freedom at risk, an attorney can review the alleged violation, evidence, original case, and probation history and advocate for continued probation or another favorable resolution.
