Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas
Probation Revocation due to unpaid fines,etc. Medical /Diabetes
I was placed on 2 yrs prob and have reported, did some community service and paid some on my fines. I was diagnosed with severe diabetes and hospitalized. The doctor wrote out orders for no work, nor driving or any physical activity until the diabetes was under control. I could not work and pay my fines but have reported monthly and have no new cases. Can they revoke my probation because I was medically unable to work and pay my fines? I cannot work until the doctor releases me. I need to know if because I have severe diabetes and doctors written orders not to work, drive, etc., can I be revoked? My probation ends next month so I will probably get a motion to revoke filed on me for not paying the probabtion fines and fees. Please respond as quickly as possible to my e-mail address and thank you so very much for your assistance. What case-law can I get to support my position?

You need to look at Chapter 42.12 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, particularly at Section 19 of that Chapter.
