A Probation Violation Doesn’t Have to Mean Prison.

If you are on probation in Kaufman County and have been hit with a Motion to Revoke (MTR) or Motion to Adjudicate, your freedom is on the line. Whether it was a failed drug test, a missed meeting with your PO, or a new arrest in Forney, the court is no longer looking for “rehabilitation”—they are looking at punishment.

We Fight for Your Second Chance:

  • Fast Action on Warrants: If a warrant has been issued for your violation, we can often work to get a bond set so you can stay out of jail while we fight the case.
  • Technical vs. Substantive Violations: We differentiate between “paperwork mistakes” and new crimes to show the judge that you deserve to stay on probation.
  • Proven Track Record: We have successfully kept hundreds of clients on probation when the State wanted to send them to TDCJ.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions: Forney Probation Violations

A Motion to Revoke is for “straight probation” where a sentence was already determined. A Motion to Adjudicate is for “deferred adjudication,” where the judge never officially found you guilty.

In many MTR cases, there is a “No Bond” hold. However, an experienced Forney defense lawyer can often file a motion to set a bond, allowing you to remain free while your attorney negotiates.

Technical violations include failing a drug test (UA), failing to pay monthly fees, missing community service hours, or failing to report to your probation officer.
