How can i get my interlock device removed from probation with 1 violation?

Asked by a user in Fort Worth, TX - 3 months ago.

The terms of your probation are completely in the hands of your judge. If you want to seek modification of those terms, you need to conact a DWI lawyer that works regularly in your court so they can tell your what the judge's position is on modifying the terms of the probation.

What are my chances of getting my probation reinstated without going to prison or rehab?I'm on felony Dwi probation.I failed ua

Asked by a user in Athens, TX - 3 months ago.

I agree with Robert, you need to hire a strong lawyer that practices in the county your case is in. You need someone familiar with your judge and their likes/ dislikes as they relate to probation violations and what you might be able to do to get back in the good graces of the judge.

I want know can an attorney threaten you with criminal charges if you don't repay a payday loan back

Asked by a user in Toledo, OH - 3 months ago.

The US has a constitutional prohibition against debtors prisons, so you cannot go to jail over a debt. However, at least here in Texas, if you wrote a hot check to cover the loan, that could be filed as a criminal charge.

Arrested for a DUI arraignment hearing for first conviction what to expect?

Asked by a user in Harlingen, TX - 2 months ago.

It is not clear from your facts scenario if you are a minor that was arrested and charged with a DUI minor, or you are an adult that has been charged with a DWI. Either way you should contact an attorney that deals with DWI cases, on a regular basis to go over your case options. If you are charged with DWI in Texas, deferred adjudication is not an option for punishment. If you are charged with a DUI, you may be able to plead the case to deferred disposition probation. However, I do stress...

How old does my infant child have to be before biological father can take for wkend visits, unmarried.

Asked by a user in Houston, TX - 4 months ago.

A court can order weekend visits at any time it finds them to be in the best interest of the child. For children 3 and over it is presumed to be in the best interest for a non-managing conservator parent to have a standard possion order, but for children under 3 it is going to depend on the facts of your case. Once paternity is established, he will have to pay support regardless of whether his name is on the birth certificate. But if he is found to be the father, he can ask the court to put...

If a pregnant 15 year old enters cps custody, can they take her child when its born.

Asked by a user in Houston, TX - 3 months ago.

Yes CPS can, and I have actually had cases where CPS did take a child away form the teenage mother who was herself in CPS care. The child was placed with relatives, and was eventually adopted by them becasue of behavioral issues with the teenage mother. If CPS gets involved, the biological father can hire a lawyer to represent his interests.

I am 22 & on probation in texas for a dwi. i went to californa & got arrested for possession of mushrooms, will my po find out?

Asked by a user in El Paso, TX - 3 months ago.

you need to focus on gettig that California case dismissed and explaining to your PO why you were in California in the first place. You can weigh whether you think the PO will find out or not, but know if they do find out and you did not self report, it will for sure be revoked, but if you did self report you may be given leniency. I would definitely contatc an attorney in both places.

In the Harris County, TX Divert Program for a 1st time DWI, are etg urine tests used to test for alcohol in the urine?

Asked by a user in Houston, TX - 4 months ago.

I beleive I read that the ETG test is used in the Divert program. Whether it is inaccurate is for your lawyer to argue if they revoke your contract.
