Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

My Son-In_law did something in High School (Age 17) where he got put on Probation and does these Pee Tests now and has to take Classes however we are around him and daughter and hes not doing anything anymore but working and taking care of their 3 small children. He works in a Warehouse and it gets very warm, so he drinks alot of Water but when he takes a Pee Test his Probation Officer always tells him his Pee is too diluted and he'll have to repeat the Classes. It's a crying shame now at 21 that he keeps having to do this which costs money and their very low incomed. When they first started going to this Probation Officer they were told that he was being setup to fail and go to Jail. Is there anything he can do so they can carry on with their lives because they simply can't afford for him to go to jail.

If they say his pee is diluted, he should immediately go that day to have a blood test done to show there are no drugs in his system. If he does this each time they claim to have a diluted urine sample then perhaps they will believe him after a couple of times. Also, once he gets that settled and if he has finished the balance of the requirements of his probation, then he should request early termination. (If he continues to have problems with the diluted urine claims despite blood tests to the contrary, then he might be better off financially to hire a lawyer to talk to the judge with a copy of the blood tests.)
