What’s going to happen?

It will be up to the Judge, ultimately. If you violate your probation by - for example, being convicted of commiting another crime (public intoxication in your case), the state can file a motion to revoke your probation. The felony probation would mean you could be revoked and sentenced anywhere within the punishment range for that offense. So if the offense were, for example, a 3rd degree felony, you could be revoked and sentenced from 2 to 10 years in prison (even if your probation is shorter). These are all what COULD happen. You also could have your probation reinstated or extended with additional conditions. Whats IS going to happen? Impossible to predict. If you want to increase your chances of staying on probation, hire an attorney to represent you on the probation revocation.  Good luck!

I have a past DUI arrest In 2010. It was never resolved and is now a warrant what are my options and what can I expect for an out come

Answered by attorney Richard Keith Oliver (Unclaimed Profile)

You got bad advice. If there's an outstanding warrant for your arrest for a DWI, it will be there forever, until you get it taken care of. To be clear, a "DUI" in Texas is a ticket issued to people under 21 who are suspected of driving under the influence. "DWI" is the over 21 charge, and is more serious. If all you have outstanding is the DUI ticket, you should just retain a TX attorney to handle it for you. Since you're living out of State now, your attorney may be able to get the warrant lifted, get you on a docket, make an appearance on your behalf, work out a resolution to the case, and all you'd have to do is mail in a check for the fees/court costs (if it can be worked out that way). The worst thing in the world to do would be to ignore it.

Can I argue to the court that I was not read my Miranda rights?

Mark R. Thiessen
Answered by attorney Mark R. Thiessen
DUI/DWI lawyer at Thiessen Law Firm
You only get Miranda if you are going to be interrogated. And the remedy would be suppress any statement you made. Hire a skilled trial attorney to assess your case.
