Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Hi,

As we speak, my wife is in county-jail on 2 counts of child abandonment & endangerment.She left my son and daughter alone in her apt at 4am to give someone a ride home and my son wandered outside alone.This isnt the 1st time this has happened either, my son wandered outside while she was sleeping one evening and cps nearly took our children.She's not a bad mother,she's just stupid and this would be her 1st felony offense.My question is, what can she do after I post her bail to help her NOT get sentenced to PRISON?Is it possible she could get probation and counceling?I would really like to know what to expect here, afterall the kids need their mother.Thank you.

It would really help if you hired a criminal defense lawyer to represent her. If this is her first felony offense she has a good chance of getting probation, however, it is best to hire a good attorney experienced in this sort of case instead of leaving the matter to chance.
