Re: Probation violation

You will likely be "Show Caused" by the court which gave the original disposition in your case after it receives the report and recommendation from the probation office, i.e., you will likely be served with a summons that will require you to appear in court and account for your failure to complete the conditions required of your probation.

If the court finds your account lacking in a proper excuse, whatever part of your sentence was originally suspended, including fine and jail time, may then be imposed by the court.
