The week of August 17-21 was an extremely busy one for the attorneys at the Law Office of Shawn C. Brown wherein they added two separate Motion to Revoke Probation cases to their win column.
Before probation can be revoked in Texas, a probation revocation hearing must be held in front of a judge. And at the client’s probation hearing, the state must prove by a preponderance of the evidence that the parolee in question has violated terms of his or her probation. A extremely serious matter, parolees are not entitled to a jury trial during probation hearings. Probation revoked in Texas can result from getting arrested for an offense, committing another crime, failing a drug test, failure to report to an assigned probation officer and not complying with court ordered classes or community service.
Should the probationer be found guilty of violating parole, the judge can give a range of punishments. On the milder side, probation could be extended for a longer period. On the serious side, the parolee is sentenced to do jail time.
Ever cognizant that parolees do have the rights of due process under Texas law, federal defense attorney Shawn C. Brown is someone who you’ll want to consider having in your corner.
During this time, Shawn worked ever diligently to handle a client’s Motion to Revoke Probation (MTR) for his client’s drug case. After much perseverance, follow-up and attention to detail on Shawn’s part, the judge denied the state’s motion to revoke and Shawn was able to keep his client on probation. Success in a court of law comes by no small accident, and Shawn and his team of San Antonio criminal defense attorneys will work tirelessly for you as well.
Not being finished for the week by a long-shot, Shawn handled another Motion the Revoke Probation (MTR) for a client who was on Probation for a Felony Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) charge. The prosecutor in this case was alleging that Shawn’s client was drinking while on probation. Never leaving even the smallest matter to accident, Shawn was able to get records of his client’s SCRAM device and that proved that his client was not drinking as originally alleged. The judge had no recourse but to deny the state’s motion to revoke probation and Shawn’s client was thereby allowed to continue on probation.
So whatever your legal needs are, please consider representation from the San Antonio criminal defense lawyers at the Law Office of Shawn C. Brown. His team’s record certainly speaks for itself, and you would behoove yourself to avail yourself or a family member of his ardent representation.
