Although for some reason I am required to attentd AA until the end of my probation. Is this normal? And also in a few years is there a way to get an early release?

Re: Probation Release

The Texas Code of Criminal Procedure allows a person on probation to apply for an early discharge after they have completed at least 1/3 of their probation (unless they are on probation for DWI). A qualified criminal defense lawyer in your community can give you insight into how successful that motion might be in your particular case. Please consult with a criminal lawyer to help you navigate these tricky waters.

Re: Probation Release

Hello there,

After you have completed one third of your probation term you are eligible to file a motion for early release. However, you cannot have your probation terminated early if you are on probation for an intoxication offense.

If you have any more questions or need some advice feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,
