    Default Violation Warrant Issued After Probation Ended

    I live in TN. I went to court on Feb 8 because my probation was coming to an end and my restitution was not paid in full. The DA decided he was going to issue a violation warrant. We agreed that I would turn myself in and be released ROR.

    However, the violation was signed by the judge today the 21st. My attorney said that it had to be signed on/before the 14th for it to be valid. She said that if it wasn't signed then my probation should be over. I have not been able to get in touch with her today.

    Is she right and since the warrant was signed today do I still need to turn myself in?

    If the judge issuedf a warrant, then it exists until recalled or until an order withdrawing it is issued.

    Default Re: Violation Warrant Issued After Probation Ended

    I went ahead and turned myself in that night. What I need to know is whether or not my probation is still valid since the violation wasn't filed until after my probation technically ended on the 14th? My attorney said the judge never should have signed the warrant because of the date, but since he did she would have to file a motion to have my probation dismissed.

    I just want to know if I have a leg to stand on. Thanks for any input.
