Alvin, TX Criminal Defense Law Firms & Lawyers

The only way you are not going to jail is by hiring an attorney. Fraud is a felony. At least 2 years in prison and up to 20 depending on the amount. A good lawyer will be able to tell your side of things. It is an absolute must that you hire the best lawyer you can afford.

You need to take care of your case first, then you can talk with your lawyer about the potential for charges being filed. It will vary by agency and frankly, it is unlikely.

The county where his probation originated retains jurisdiction, even when probation is "transferred." If the State believes any term or condition of probation has been violated, they can file a motion to revoke probation. A warrant is then issued for the persons arrest that is on probation, and a hearing is set. The Judge has the final say on what to do with an alleged probation violation, and it can be reinstated, extended, have conditions added, or revoked.  If your son was on deferred adjudication probation, he is entitled to a bond. Even if one is not set intitially, his attorney can get one set. Your son has a right to an attorney to represent him in a probation revocation action. He is also entitled to a hearing in front of the Judge, where he can present evidence or testimony in his defense. If he cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for him.
