    Question Can You Transfer Misdemeanor Probation to Another State

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Florida & Texas

    Will Duval County, Florida accept a transfer for a misdemeanor six month probation from Harris County, Texas? If not, will Nassau or St. Johns County Florida accept it? If not, is there a known reason why?

    Thank you for your time

    What did the PO offices of the counties involved say when asked this question? What did the PO officer say when asked this question?

    The man representing the Harris County PO office seemed to claim that Florida would not accept probation transfers.

    I think that the primary issue is that by the time any transfer could actually be coordinated, four or five months will have passed.

    The way it works is you see your current probation department about the move. If they think it is a reasonable request, they will contact the department in the state you will be moving to. That state will prepare their probation conditions for you and send that back to your home state. If they approve they will forward it back to the receiving state. At this point you'll be authorized to move and told to report to the receiving state. You can count on a full up intake in the receiving state (fingerprints, mug shots, drug test).

    It can take several months for the paperwork to make it through the system. I've seen it take up seven in bad cases.

    Thank you both for your answers. I will contact my local probation department concerning this possibility, then reconvene with my attorney.

    You don't have enough time remaining on your order. The receiving state would not accept this order that you are requesting.
