If you are in good standing, getting a probation transferred is routine. However, transfers are not going to be done "immediately." It is going to take Texas sending the request to Pennsylvania. The local probation office in PA will send back their information and Texas will approve it and return it to them. This all can take a couple of months. You should have a frank discussion about this with your probation officer in Texas. They may be willing to allow you to "travel" or "phone in" to them in the interim. What you ABSOLUTELY DO NOT WANT TO DO is just move to Pennsylvania in violation of your probation. The officials will be specifically disinclined to approve transfers when you abscond on your own.
