:confused:Good Morning, I was wondering anyone online have EVERY violated their probation and just got it reinstated? For the first time... Thanks (im on probation now and I think I going to be charge with Theft over 1500, so that will violate me)

Hello a:

I've had it reinstated... But, I didn't commit a felony when I violated. Therefore, I seriously doubt your probation will be reinstated.

excon

Being on probation and committing a felony is definitely not going to get your probation reinstated once you are violated. Maybe something minor, but not another felony.

Even if the case is in different counties?

Hello again, a:

Yup, even in a different county.

IM ON A 4 yr felony probation(got unemployed and didn't report it) buying them back.. well, I caught a new case in another county... Do you think my po will voilate me, and if so how much time am I looking at? I am going to hire a good attorney... can I get reinstated? And what do reinstated mean?:eek:

Hello a:

Of course, your PO will violate you. Maybe, just maybe if you were late for a meeting, they MIGHT not violate you... But for a NEW CASE?? Dude!

You'll finish the case in the other county, then you'll have to answer to the first county. I don't know WHAT the new crime was... If it was just possession of some pot, you may not do much time. But, if it was for another serious crime, you could do ALL your sentence in jail.

What does reinstated mean

:confused:I am wondering what will happen when I tell my po I got a new case.. will she arrest me right away, or will I get a court date for a VOP hearing.. Thanks in Advance

Depending on where you are, I think it is up to the PO.

The severity of the new case may be a factor in the decision and your overall progress on the current probation may be too.

My knowledge (which is not great) is they arrest you and make you spend a night or two in jail to get your attention.

THE NEW case is theft misd b, and I'm on probation for a felony(nothing major I filed for unemployment and was working)

Hello Iam on a felony probation and I have caught another case(misd b theft).. I am wondering what will happen when I tell my po? Will she arrest me right then, or report it to the courts and they give me a court date for a VOP hearing.. I live in dallas,Texas... I am a nervouse wreck.. dont know what to except? The other charge is in another county... so do I need to tell her... Thanks in Advance

Hello a:

I read your other question. Please keep them ALL on one thread..

You haven't violated, unless and until, you are convicted on the other case - that is unless you DON'T tell her, because that is a violation in and of, itself.

Once you're convicted, if you are, and after you're DONE with jail time there, you'll be transferred back to the original county and you'll wait in jail for your violation hearing.

Good Morning excon... my lawyer is trying to get it reduced to a ticket... but if not I will get 6 months probation.. so will my po in dallas fine out that I got arrested in another county, and will the other county know that I am on probation now.. and should I tell my po in dallas?Thanks in advance I know I ask a lot of questions this mornong.. lol

Hello again, a:

Yes, you should tell your PO because if he DOESN'T know about now, he WILL find out about it. No, the other county won't know you're on probation, but it won't make any difference to them.

excon

No she doesn't know... but how will she find out

No she doesnt know...but how will she find outHello again, a:

Cause she's a COP. COPS find out things.

excon

Thanks Excon, should I tell her after I bond out on the new case or before

Hello again, a:

From the very second you're busted, until the very second you TELL her, you're in violation. If she finds out BEFORE you tell her, you'll have THAT charge to deal with too. I don't know what you're waiting for.

excon

I'm no expert at all, but from what I've seen in life, when you get arrested, you spend a day or two in jail, and you can be bailed out (depending on the crime you commited). When you are released from jail, you usually have to go to court and you will be either found innocent or guilty (usually the jury decides on this). If you are found guilty you will probably be sentenced to either prison time, or community service, or a mix of both. You may or may not be sent to do time right away.

:confused:Hello ALL , I am in dallas,Texas.. will someone please answer my question please? Once I tell my PO that I have been arrested,for another crime? What will she do from there? Will I go to jail that day? Will a warrant issued will I have a bond? I'm on deffered felony now

First I hope this is the day after the arrest, because the longer you go , the worst it will be. And if you don't tell them, when ( not if) but when they find out, the most serious violation may be not telling them, ( that is a violation in and of itself.)

They may do one of several things
1. give you a date to appear for a VOP hearing
2. issue a warrant for you
3. arrest you on the spot if in their office

If held, normally there is no bail till the hearing, I have heard of it in a few places but none I have ever seen

At the hearing, they may
1. merely put you back on probation
2. give you jail or prison time for the violation.
*** a lot will depend on the crime you did for the violation

And of course you will have to have a trial and do the punishment for the new crime,

***** It is not unusual to be on probation for 2 or 3 different crimes at one time ( not always the same PO)

Hello again, a:

I DID answer your question, here (https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/newreply.php?do=newreply&p=2479095). Sorry you didn't like it. But, I haven't changed my mind.

I also asked you to keep all your questions about this issue on the same thread. You ignored that too.

excon

OK, excon was being nice, I will not be as such.

STOP starting a dozen new threads on the same or very close subjects.
I have merged them which may now be more confusing, but you just would not listen
*** perhaps why you are having probation issues?
