Dallas Criminal Lawyer
Probation Violations
If you are convicted of a probation violation, sometimes the court will extend your probation, or impose additional terms. Your parole officer may submit a motion to revoke your probation, or often, the court will sentence you to a period of time in jail, followed by the continuation of your probation. Sometimes, the probationer will be resentenced to jail or prison, or will be ordered to complete a term that was previously "suspended."
