Q: I was on probation in Georgia in 2007. Have not reported since
Was allowed to move to Texas after 2 weeks of being in Texas and my second day of my new job the probation officer called me saying I needed to be in his office the next day (756 miles away) I told him I could not afford the drive and it would reflect bad on me to ask off my second day at work he said if I’m not there he will issue a warrant we never spoke again
A: Justia notifies attorneys of new questions based on where they are licensed. Even though you are currently in Texas, this is a problem with the Georgia criminal justice system. You should re-post this question with the location set to the city in Georgia where your probation was based instead of listing it as Vidor, Texas because you'll need the guidance of an attorney who is licensed to practice law in Georgia.
A: Furthermore, it is possible that Georgia may issue a warrant for your arrest and seek to have you extradited from Texas to Georgia.
