Motion to Revoke Probation in Rowlett and Garland
Violation of probation could result in reinstatement of your sentence through a motion to revoke probation (MTR) put forth by the prosecuting attorney. A probation sentence is an alternative to jail or prison, but if you do not obey the terms of your probation you could go straight to jail or prison. Your original sentence could even be extended.
If your probation officer or other law enforcement official has alleged that you have violated your probation, it is critical to consult an attorney immediately. Not just any attorney. You need aggressive criminal defense representation from a lawyer who has a deep understanding of the law and can prepare a thorough case to defend you during the entire legal process.
Rockwall attorney Cameron Cowan has extensive experience on both sides of this issue. As a criminal prosecutor in Texas for 15 years, Mr. Cowan knows the criminal justice system backward and forward. He can defend your case with unique skills and strategies. Contact our Rockwall office to schedule a free consultation. We respond to phone calls promptly and can also help you obtain favorable bond conditions if you are eligible.
Your Alleged Violation Is Worth Bold Defense
Protecting your rights and keeping you out of jail is our mission. You could be facing a motion to revoke probation (MTR) for several reasons, and we can work to achieve your best possible options to avoiding sentence reinstatement in any situation, including:
- Committing a new offense
- Failure to report to your probation officer
- Failure to pay fines or restitution
- Failure to complete community service
- Failure to pass a drug test
- Tampering with an ignition interlock device
- Failure to complete required counseling (such as drug rehab, alcohol treatment, anger management or other treatment)
- Possessing a firearm or other weapon unlawfully
- Other violations of the terms of your probation
A probation violation is considered a new criminal offense. Therefore, in addition to sentence reinstatement or probation extension, you may face additional penalties for the new charge. It is critical to have an experienced criminal defense lawyer on your side when you have so much at stake. We will advocate for your rights.
