Probation Violations should be taken very seriously by Defendants. Do not hesitate to contact a good Criminal Defense Attorney if the State of Texas has filed a motion to revoke or a motion to adjudicate your probation.

If a person is on Deferred Adjudication probation, they are open to the full range of punishment and are risking a final conviction. If a person is on "straight " or "regular" probation, the judge is limited to the sentence originally imposed at the time the person was placed on probation.

A person on probation can be doing everything right and working very hard on probation but just simply miss a few meetings, classes, payments, etc., and all of that hard work can be thrown out the window.

At a Probation Revocation or Motion to Adjudicate hearing a Judge can:
1) Continue a person's probation
2) Modify a person's probation
3) Revoke a person's probation
