A: You should probably start by contacting the attorney that helped you with your case. If you don't want to use that attorney then contact another criminal defense attorney who takes cases in the same COURT that put you on probation.

A: In Bell County, the court will require a Statement of Fact from your probation officer giving a summary of your conduct. The court will also request whether the prosecutor has any objections. No hearing is necessary nor will you be required to appear.

Process takes about 30-days to complete.
