Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

This is always going to be up to the judge at a revocation hearing. You will get credit for the time you have served in jail. Depending upon what you have done, the judge may reduce the original sentence. Also the judge may deny the motion to revoke and put you back on probation.

I don't think the judge can revoke your probation without you being at the hearing.

However, the judge could also impose the sentence that was probated. If you received deferred adjudication, the judge will need to sentence you first. The judge would have the full range of punishment available.

It depends on various factors:

1) What kind of probation? Some kinds of probation the judge doesn't have to give a bond. Some kinds limit the judge's sentencing options more than others do.

2) What are you on probation for? Weed and robbery carry different possibilities.

3) How serious was your violation?

4) Have you been a fugitive, and if so how long?

there's more to consider. If you have a warrant, then you need a good lawyer. Go to www.tbls.org and select a board certified criminal law specialist, or just visit my webpage.
