    Default DWI probation question - tests, violation

    Hello,

    A friend of mine will soon be put on DWI probation in Texas for 18 months. He is 21, about to be 22, and this is the only legal problem he has ever faced. His probation starts within a month, and he has (unfortunately and stupidly, might I add) smoked marijuana recently, and thinks he will fail a drug test, if they give him one. The probation conditions say that the tests are at the discretion of the officer, and does not say that they will test him definitely and for sure, or that they will test him at the first meeting. He says he will not smoke again, and he's keeping his word, so at least that is good.

    My question on his behalf is this - what is the likelihood that they will test him immediately, at the first meeting, given that this DWI is his first legal offence.

    Thanks in advanc

    It's entirely up to the probation officer. Nobody can give you a meaningful statistic.
