Got a couple of questions about my intoxicated manslaughter charge. I was charged with Intoxicated manslaughter, in texas. I was 17 at the time and took a plea bargain, under advice of a lawyer. My sentence was 9 months in a alcohol treatment facility, 10 years probation, 10,000 dollar fine, 240 hors of com. services. Currently i am 8 years into my probation and have paid my fine off, and met all of the other requirements. Originally I was told by my lawyer if took care of business he could get me off of probation after a third of my term. Recently I had my lawyer wright a letter to the judge, asking for early release. The request was denied, with the judge stating that because of the nature of the crime he could not grant it. Any advice would be appreciated.
Also my Grandparents are trying to retire from the Bail Bond business and would like me to take it over. The only thing preventing me from doing so is my felony record. Is their any long term solution ( after I get off probation), like a pardon or something, so I can get licensed? Thanks again.
