Re: violation of probation
It depends entirely on the judge. If you COULD pay the fines and costs and did not, many Tennessee judges would in fact revoke your probation if the matter is brought to the judge's attention. But if you are financially UNABLE to pay, most Tennessee judges will not even consider revoking probation simply for failing to pay fines and court costs.
