WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU VIOLATE YOUR PROBATION?

Violating the terms of your probation is a serious offense. The consequences of a probation violation can depend on many factors, including the nature and severity of the violation, whether it is your first offense, second or a subsequent offense or a felony probation violation and any other contributing circumstances that may affect the violation.

In Texas, the penalties for probation violation can be significant and may include:

  • Extended probation
  • Additional probation terms
  • Fines
  • Jail or prison
