Probation Violation Notification Requirements

Summary

Louisiana law requires that probationers receive written notification of any alleged violations promptly after they are discovered. The notification must clearly outline the specific conditions that have been violated and provide evidence supporting each violation. If your fiancé did not receive such notification, it could be a procedural issue worth exploring. Consider consulting with a local attorney to understand the implications and potential legal remedies available.

can you explain this to me *-* [Although Rule *.* requires that a probable cause hearing take place for an offender subject to retaking for violations of conditions that may result in revocation as outlined in subsection (a), allegations of due process violations in the actual revocation of probation or parole are matters addressed during proceedings in the sending state after the offender’s return]
Sure, ****! Here’s a simplified explanation:
- Rule *.*: Requires a probable cause hearing for an offender who might be retaken for violating conditions that could lead to revocation.
- Due Process Violations: Any issues with due process during the actual revocation of probation or parole will be dealt with in the sending state after the offender has been returned.
Do you have any specific questions about how this might apply to a situation you’re facing?
explain further
Sure, ****! Here's a bit more detail:
- Probable Cause Hearing (Rule *.*): Before an offender can be taken back to the sending state for violating probation or parole conditions, they must have a hearing to determine if there's enough reason (probable cause) for the retaking.
- Due Process Violations: If there are any claims that the offender's rights were violated during the revocation process, these will be addressed once the offender is back in the sending state.
Do you have a specific situation where you believe this rule might apply?

Define convicted in this statement
In the context of your fiancé's situation, "convicted" means that he has been found guilty of a crime by a court and has been sentenced to serve a term of imprisonment. This is the status he would have before any procedural errors, such as the lack of a probable cause hearing, are addressed.

PRACTICE NOTE: An offender convicted of committing a new revocable criminal offense in the receiving state is not entitled to a probable cause hearing, the official judgment of the court is sufficient to trigger retaking by the sending state and subsequent revocation of release.
Case Rating: *
In this context, "convicted" means that the court has found the offender guilty of committing a new criminal offense in the receiving state. This official judgment is enough to initiate retaking by the sending state without requiring a probable cause hearing.

so convicted only in the recieving state
Hi ****, in this context, "convicted only in the receiving state" means that your fiancé was found guilty of a new offense in Texas, the state where he was residing, not the state that originally sentenced him. This conviction allows Texas to initiate his retaking without needing a probable cause hearing.
