Q: Im on a deferred adjudication case but tested positive on my second ua I’m going back to court what will happen
My community service supervision officer is sending me back to court in Brazoria county Texas for my second failed UA this is for my DWI Case/ possession case
A:
If you do not have a good lawyer, you better get one ASAP!
Brazoria County is notoriously strict with Deferred Adj. I would recommend getting in a drug treatment program before I go to court.
What will probably happen is that the benefit of the Def Adj., will be lost due to your failure to comply with terms.
That means the charges that the charges to which you pled guilty, will remain a conviction, and it will stay on your criminal record forever. You may be able to fix that with the instructions I stated above.
I hope you get the help you need, and the court keeps you on the deferred status.
Good Luck!
