They vary depend on how many times the case has been reset or people have been subpoenaed. You can call the clerk office and they will be happy to tell you the costs.

If you were charged with a shoplifting charge then it is possible (but unlikely) you will go to jail. Shoplifting is an A misdemeanor meaning it carries a sentence of 11 months and 29 days in jail but you can possibly get that suspended to probation. If you plea guilty it will be on your record...

If it was truly expunged then the first charge will not show up on your record . Whether you will get jail time depends on a lot of things like the amount stolen and facts of the case If the charge was in Williamson county then you need to know the DAs will try to prosecute to the fullest.

Have you entered a plea for the drug charge ? Was there another person charged as well ? You need to talk to an attorney to help you work through this Matter .
What are the consequences if they do not?
answered on Feb 14, 2020
Yes they are. If you have a probation violation warrant then police are required to bring you in. You will be served the warrant and if there is a bond, you can pay it and be released.
I was incarcerated in 2016. I was released on October 19, 2020. When I was released I was under the impression that I had flattened my time. February 5, 2020, a parole officer came to my house to inform me that I was apparently on probation. I was unaware and so was she. My sentence was flatted. I... View More

When a case is bound over it sometimes gets pushed a few months but a year is a little long. I would first contact the clerks office and see if they have any information about when your case is scheduled to go to the grand jury? The clerk's office usually has updates and sends out letters of... View More

If you are required to be present you should receive a subpoena. You are the victim witness in your domestic assault case therefore, the District Attorney will want to talk to you/your attorney before deciding whether to dismiss or move forward in prosecuting the case.

Receiving a new charge while on probation will likely violate your probation. You should call your probation officer and tell them of your new charge. If your probation officer decides to violate you, a warrant will be issued for a probation violation and you will be arrested and have to bond out... View More
