I had an active ticket for not having my child in a seatbelt, and I was on probation for that citation. While still on probation, I received another citation for parking in the roadway.

Most of this will depend on a number of items, such as whether the county you had the original citation is is going to do any type of statewide check. Even if they do, you can retain counsel, and they should be able to work out an agreement that will allow for either extending or reinstating the... View More
Is 6 months all that is served on a 6 year sentence in Texas? Can he be paroled from the county jail? Does the parole board typically approve first parole on a violation?

Good Afternoon!
If by "they", you mean the Judge or the Prosecutor, they will, but they will not give you advice on what your options are or what you should do. For that, you need a defense attorney. Do not plead guilty as there are other avenues. You do not want this to... View More

I'm sorry you are in this predicament, but there is a lot that can be done. It doesn't sound like you meet the "intentionally" part of the statute required for the offense. The State will try and prove their case through circumstantial evidence inferring that you knew you were... View More
