Probation & Parole Violations
Dallas Probation and Parole Violation Lawyers
If you are on probation or parole, you are still under court supervision. If you violate the terms of your agreement with the court, the penalties can be very harsh. At law office of Peter Barrett in Dallas, Texas, we offer a free attorney consultation to discuss your options if you have been arrested for a probation or parole violation.
Probation violations
If you are arrested for a probation violation, the judge can revoke your probation and send you to prison. You could end up serving the maximum sentence for the crime for which you are on probation. You can also be held in jail until a judge decides what to do with you. Since the consequences are so serious, it’s important to contact a Dallas criminal lawyer as soon as possible.
A probation violation can be for a technical violation, such as failing a urinalysis (UA) or drug test, or for an arrest on new criminal charges. Whether we handled your original case or not, we can seek to get you released from jail while we work to resolve your case. Our goal will be to minimize the damages and try to get you back on track so you can continue parole.
Parole violations
In Texas, a blue warrant is issued for a parole violation. A blue warrant means there is a parole hold on you. As soon as you are picked up, you will be held in jail until a judge decides what to do with you. You could be sent back to prison to serve out the remainder of your sentence.
Whether we handled your original case or not, our lawyers will seek to resolve the violation so you can continue on parole.
