My wife was charged with possession of methamphetamine less than a gram in Texas. She plead guilty and received 4 years deferred adjudicated probation. First offense. No prior criminal history. She has failed a drug test and a hearing has been set for a motion to adjudicate guilt by the DA. She was arrested at probation with no bond. She has a court appointed attorney. He says that the DA is offering 9 months SAFPF with 3 months halfway house, so 12 months with no revocation of probation
It sounds like a serious situation. Here are some key points about probation revocation and SAFPF (Substance Abuse Felony Punishment Facility) in Texas:
- Failure to comply with probation terms, like failing a drug test, can lead to revocation.
- SAFPF is a court-ordered drug rehab program within the prison system.
- Accepting the DA's offer could prevent revocation but involves incarceration at SAFPF.

Or 15 months state jail with revocation of probation so a felony conviction. I have reserved a bed for her in a private treatment center but the court appointed attorney says that the DA won't go for it
It's a challenging situation. Here are some additional points to consider:
- The court often prefers structured programs like SAFPF over private treatment, especially for first offenses.
- Acceptance into SAFPF may demonstrate a commitment to rehabilitation.
- Discuss with your attorney if presenting evidence of the reserved private treatment center might influence the court’s decision.

I don't think the attorney discussed alternatives to incarceration with the DA. Being that the court appointed attorney is not willing to inform the DA of the private treatment, how do I compell him to do so?
It's a tough spot. Here are some points to consider:
- Communicate clearly with your attorney about the importance of presenting the private treatment option.
- Request a formal meeting with the DA to discuss alternatives.
- Consider seeking a second opinion or hiring a private attorney for more personalized advocacy.
