Q: received violation on probation got letter from the district attorney stating a revocation hearing. Still on probation?
DWI first time probation or pre trial diversion for DWI. Received a minor in consumption ticket while on the program. Probation officer filed a motion to adjudicate. District attorney filled the motion to adjudicate. Court date has been set. Am I still on probation at this point or am I now off until the court date!
A: I am sorry to hear of the alleged violation. You are still on probation until your probation term has ended or has been revoked for violations a new sentence imposed. Any failure to comply with your probation terms during this time could result in additional evidence to revoke your probation. Unless already satisfied, there is likely a warrant for your arrest. If arrested, you will be held without a bond until your hearing or until an attorney assists with getting a bond reinstated.
