My question involves criminal law for the state of: Texas
I have 2 questions. Both are about my particular situation. I was charged with sexual assault a while back. Not wanting to go to court, I accepted a Deferred Adjudication w/ Community Supervision for 10 yrs. The charge was reduced to "Aggravated Assault". Had I realized how many problem it would cause.. I probably would have gone to court.
Question 1:
As I understand things, moving between states while on probation/supervision is regulated by the Interstate Compact. I found this on the website: http://www.interstatecompact.org/Por...CAOS_Rules.pdf
It indicates:
To me, this seems like if I found a job in California, and I have a brother living there (which i do), that I should be guaranteed a transfer. However, I asked my officer about this, and she said "nope, with your offense...it is completely up to the state if they allow you to come to their state...and you can NOT go until the case is accepted"... but she didnt give me any other information. Can this be correct?Rule 3.101 Mandatory transfer of supervision
At the discretion of the sending state, an offender shall be eligible
for transfer of supervision to a receiving state under the compact, and the receiving state shall accept
transfer, if the offender:
(a) has more than 90 days or an indefinite period of supervision
remaining at the time the
sending state transmits the transfer request; and
(b) has a valid plan of supervision; and
(c) is in substantial compliance with the terms of supervision in the
sending state; and
(d) is a resident of the receiving state; or
(e)
(1) has resident family in the receiving state who have indicated a
willingness and
ability to assist as specified in the plan of supervision; and
(2) can obtain employment in the receiving state or has means of support.
Question 2:
I've got my community service hours done, taken the classes, and have had no violations whatsoever. I found this site which states that Sex Offenses aren't eligable for early dismissal. Since the charge was reduced to a normal assault, does this effect me? Can I ask for early dismissal?
Thanks so much!
