I was wrongfully arrested while on parole which resulted in a violation. The charge was dismissed. Is there any case laws that I can present to parole why they shouldn’t violate me because of the wrongful arrest

A: You should really consider hiring a lawyer to address this issue. Parole violations can be tricky. Especially when they involve new arrests because arrests can create substantive and technical violations. Without seeing the exact parole violations being alleged it is impossible to give good advice about how to address this issue. Usually, parole violations are handled via Zoom so any lawyer in Texas can represent you on the violation, regardless of where the violation is being heard. If you choose to represent yourself in the parole violation make sure you have any documentation regarding the dismissal ready and provided to your parole officer. Good luck!

A: In Texas, if you are facing parole violations due to a wrongful arrest that resulted in a dismissal of charges, you may have legal grounds to contest the violations. It's crucial to present your case effectively to parole authorities. While specific case laws may not be provided here, you can bolster your argument by emphasizing the dismissal of charges, demonstrating the wrongful nature of the arrest, and providing any relevant legal documentation supporting your innocence.
