Hello.
I have been put in straight probation 3rd offense DWI (Felony)for 2 years in June 2011. In TEXAS
I completed. community service hours, classes and paid all fees.
I have been layoff from work since may 2011, i have been in many job interviews and had many offers, but when they found out that im in probation they are not willing to take chances with that pending on me.
Now can i go to court and ask the judge to reduce probation in order to get a job and move on with my life? Or do i have to be in probation for the whole 2 years and have no more money to live?
I do have 2 children that i care for and i need to get a job in order to feed them and pay bills.

In Texas there is no abilityto reduce probation in DWI cases. The judge could allow you to move (except to another state in some situations) and allow you to be put on mail-in reporting. He could also waive your fees. But, his hands are tied regarding the length of the probation (which, by the way, is a good deal for a felony DWI.)
