One of the most common conditions of probation is to "commit no offense against the laws of this state or of any other state or of the United States" so, if he has that condition then he may have already violated the terms of his supervision. Whether his probation is revoked because of... View More

Probably neither of the above. The more likely reason is that the 1983 suit against the municipality pretty much requires that the plaintiff proves that the municipality had an actual policy to violate the constitution. E.g., if a person is beaten up by the cops, to prove a 1983 case against the... View More

It depends on which Felonies you have been charged with to give you a good answer. Usually, if it is not a sex crime or a homicide, you can get probation on your first charges. However, I would definitely need to know the exact charges to give you solid advice.
I don’t consider this to be smuggling since I didn’t gain no money and I didn’t cross anyone over the border the illegal aliens were already in Texas I just had to pick them up. And now I got a charge for this and pending court date.

It is irrelevant whether you received any payment for your activities or whether the foreign nationals were in the United States: these are not the requisite elements of the current criminal charge you are facing, witch has a possibility of a prison sentence upon conviction.

If this is a federal case, he sounds like a minor player in the criminal operation. It is imperative that he searches out and hires an experienced criminal defense lawyer with substantial federal court background.

If an individual has reason to believe that they are under criminal investigation, is there a way to find out before being served or arrested?
answered on Sep 2, 2021
There is not a reliable way to find out. About the best you can do is to hire a criminal defense attorney who agrees to reach out to law enforcement and inquire about the status on any investigation.

You can be arrested and prosecuted for anything.
