Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

how long

I got busted for possession back in 2002. I had never been in trouble like that before. The probation was not going well, no job no car, no money.......so i just stopped going. Have spent the last 3 years making myself respectable again and now want to turn myself in so i can move on with my life.

Is the charge gonna just be violation of probation and just how long can i plan to sit in jail before moving on with my life?

Re: how long

The answer depends on whether it was a felony or misdemeanor. generally bonds are set on misdemeanor revocations, but not on felonies. However different counties have different procedures.

The best thing to do is contact a lawyer first, and they can usually work something out before you turn yourself in.

Good luck.
