Fighting to Keep You Out of Jail

When a judge gives you probation (also called “community supervision”), it’s a chance to stay out of jail. But if the prosecutor accuses you of breaking the rules, they can file a Motion to Revoke Probation (MTRP). As your Houston probation violation lawyer, our only goal is to protect you from that motion and convince the judge to give you a second chance. We act quickly to build a defense and fight for your freedom.

Understand our firm’s overall approach to fighting serious criminal charges.

What is a Motion to Revoke Probation (MTRP)?

An MTRP is a legal document filed by the prosecutor that asks the judge to take you off probation and send you to jail or prison. This can happen for two main reasons:

  1. Technical Violations: This means you broke one of the rules of your probation. Common examples include failing a drug test, missing a meeting with your probation officer, or not completing your community service hours.
  2. New Law Violations: This means you were arrested and charged with a new crime while you were on probation. This is the most serious type of violation.

At the hearing, the prosecutor only has to prove you “likely” violated the rules—a much lower standard than “beyond a reasonable doubt.”

Hear from other clients who trusted us to protect their freedom.

  • Challenge the Allegations: We will investigate to see if the prosecutor’s claims are true. For example, we can challenge the results of a drug test or show that you had a valid reason for missing a meeting.
  • Negotiate with the Prosecutor: We can often work with the prosecutor to agree on a less serious punishment, like extending your probation or adding a new condition instead of revoking it.
  • Present Your Case to the Judge: We can present evidence and witnesses to show the judge that you are taking probation seriously and deserve another chance.

Common Questions About Probation Violations

Sometimes, but it can be difficult. In many cases, the judge will not set a bond until after your hearing. This makes it even more important to have a lawyer working to resolve your case as quickly as possible.

It is a hearing in front of a judge only (no jury). The prosecutor will present evidence that you violated the rules. We will present our evidence to challenge their case or to show why you should be given another chance. The judge then decides whether to keep you on probation, change the rules, or send you to jail.
