Q: in Johnson county texas I have been charged with theft 1500-20000.Can my bond be raised for a dirty UA as a bond cond
My judge made it a provision of my bond that I submit weekly UA's. I had many clean test and now one dirty. My alleged charge is not a drug related crime. So a warrant was issued for insufficient bond, and my bond was raised from 25000 up to 50000 because of a dirty UA. Is this even legal. I have not been convicted of anything.
A: Yes it is legal because you violated the conditions of your original bond. First of all unless you have prior offenses the original and new bond are excessive.
