A: There is no magic word that forces a Court to grant probation. Talk with your attorney about eligibility for probation in your case. Good luck.

A: Do you mean something like: Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Start ?

But seriously, if you are having a problem finding information about probation on the internet you can use a search term like "Texas Community Supervision" and that should return pages that are on point.

I agree with Grant St Julian III, there are no magic words and every case is different. Talk to your criminal defense attorney about whether community supervision is an option in YOUR specific case.

A: I wish it was that simple. It comes down to your past histtroy and the severity of the crime you are charged with. Speak with your attorney about it they typically know how best to obtain probation in your county. Good luck.
