In Texas, the issuance of a Motion to Revoke (MTR) can occur immediately after a violation of probation terms, like missing appointments. Here are some key points:
- No specific time period before an MTR is filed.
- It depends on the probation officer and the severity of the violation.
- The judge has final say in the matter.
If they are on probation and don't show up for any of the visits and they go to jail * times during the probation time period, don't they usually MTR right away?
In Texas, repeated violations like missing appointments and jail time can indeed expedite a Motion to Revoke (MTR) probation. However, the final decision rests with the judge. It's always best to comply with probation terms to avoid complications.
So if they were put on probation on June *, * and never went to any of his probation visits and they barely MTR him and picked him up on April *, *, is that not way long to MTR someone?
In Texas, while it might seem a long time to initiate a Motion to Revoke (MTR) probation, remember:
- The timing can vary significantly.
