Have You Been Charged for Violating Your Probation?
DWI Probation Defense in Plano
Many DWI convictions result in probation, instead of incarceration, for the defendant. Probation allows the defendant to avoid the ultimate sentence associated with the crime while still being punished for their conviction. If you have been placed under probation for a conviction of driving while intoxicated (DWI), you are expected to obey strict regulations. Failure to comply with a court order can result in a serious consequences.
Probation violations occur when one or more regulation is not followed, such the following:
- Completion of a dunk driving program
- Court fines / fees
- Not to commit any criminal offense
- Not to drive with any measurable level of alcohol
The above list is not exhaustive and will likely vary depending on the specific circumstances of the case.

Repercussions of a Probation Violation
If under suspicion of committing a DWI probation violation, the suspect can be issued a bench warrant for the individual's arrest. Once the arrest has taken place, that individual will be required to appear before a judge and face sanctions.
If you are found guilty of the violation, your probation will likely be cancelled and you will be required to finish your sentence in jail.
