Fort Worth Probation Violation Lawyer

If you then fail to honor these requirements your probation officer may place you in breach of your agreement, and you will then face the possibility of being accused of probation violations.
If you are accused of a probation violation then you are in a particularly serious situation, and should treat it as such. It could very quickly lead to a motion to revoke your probation, and then the issue of a warrant for your arrest.
