My question involves criminal law for the state of: Oklahoma and Texas
Friend has small children with man that was on felony probation in Texas. He got permission from his PO to work across the state line in Oklahoma. He later moved his family to Oklahoma, but did not get permission or even advise his PO that he was living in OK. Shortly afterward he was arrested for domestic violence in Oklahoma and given a deferred sentence with probation for 1 year. OK Judge was not informed of Texas probation. Two months later, Texas PO arrests him for probation violation and he spends 10 months in jail in Texas. While in jail in Texas, OK issues warrant and accelerates deferred judgment to be scheduled. He is now in a halfway house in Texas, but wants to move back to Oklahoma. He still has 1 year remaining on his Texas felony probation.
We THINK he may have requested a transfer of his Texas probation to Oklahoma thinking that he could "kill two birds with one stone"....but it doesn't work that way, does it? The Texas PO was recently made aware of the OK warrant. Is he obligated under any intrastate pact to contact Oklahoma and allow them to arrest him, or would Texas want to keep him in Texas until he satisfies the remainder of his probation there first?
I assumed that if he goes to OK, he'll be arrested and jailed until a hearing is scheduled to rule on his Domestic Violence charge.
