    Default Will Your Probation Be Revoked for a Misdmeanor, Failure to Appear

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Texas

    I previously have a warrant for failure to appear in a different county I was pulled over for headlight out, I intentional identify myself to the officer different name and give different ID. I was arrested and booked. I had been placed on probation for a period of six months on June 19, 2015 for Failure to identify/ fugitive a class A misdemeanor. With $300 fine $239 costs which it runs $100 a month. My license is expired and I found out I have to pay $648.83 to collection agency to release the hold on my license for failure to appear before I get my license.

    My question is

    I am required to meet with a probation officer but am nervous that I might get arrested for the failure to appear warrant.

    The next issue is on June 23, 2015 (couple days after sentence to probation) I had money stolen from my wallet while at work, I called cops they came and did a little search on all employees and myself. I am currently under care for sever Rheumatoid Arthritis I was not able to pay for my prescription drugs so I had help myself to my brother in-laws meds cabinet and took a muscle relaxer and naproxen pills he gets on a monthly basis from VA (veterans hospital). This medications are prescription for him, I was arrested for the class A misdemeanor of Possession of dangerous drugs. I was detained till a friend bail me out. Now I am being suspended from work for the this charges and I work where it involves prescribe medications.

    my question is

    Will I be revoked for this new charge?

    I have schedule to meet an assigned probation officer in 2 days should I tell him about this new charge?

    Thank you for your time.

    I'm confused. You won't get arrested for "failure to appear" unless you are summonsed to court and don't go.
    If you miss your appointments with your probation officer without good cause, you may be facing a probation violation which ultimately could result in you going to jail on the original charge.

    It's possible that you can have your probation revoked on the new charge. You can also go to jail on the new charge as well.

    You should ABSOLUTELY tell your probation officer (as you are REQUIRED to do) about any interaction with the police let alone arrests.
    They are going to find out about it anyway, best to not commit further violations by lying/omitting.

    I have a question? If I was to leave state (Tennessee) to cross the Mississippi River from East to West, will I be okay? Since I am on Misdameanor Probation in East Tennessee!

    Please start your own thread rather than tacking on to this one. What do your probation conditions say? The specimen ones say you are to remain in the state unless you have permission from your PO. There is no such state as "East Tennessee". Nothing west of the Mississippi is in Tennessee.
