Violating my Probation is considered to be an act determined by the court in which an individual accused of a crime receives a level of punishment while not being sent to jail or prison. Probation also may be the period after which an individual is released from prison, and the authorities are still close monitoring them. There is accountability with the government by which the person agrees that they will not violate the probation or they will face greater consequences for their actions.

The court allows the person to be under supervision while still maintaining
a certain level of freedom depending on the charges. When under probation, there is no room for mistakes, and if caught in any violation it is likely that the individual will face even harsher punishments. In the event that a person violates their probation or parole, they are in severe danger
and need to contact a criminal defense attorney as soon as possible. While
the consequences may be more severe, every person maintains the right
to have a hearing to defend their case; because of that, a lawyer is of
great importance to make sure that the case is properly handled.

At this time, a Houston criminal defense attorney will do one of two things: either file an adjunction or file a motion to revoke. These two different titles are based on the type of probation a person is under, though they both have the same end goal of having the probation revoked. Have you been accused of violating your parole or probation in any way?

While most children are well-behaved at an early age, a Corpus Christi youth has received charges for beating his mother. According to an article by the Associated Press, the boy used a hammer to repeatedly injure his mother. The 13-year-old boy has been charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and domestic violence. The article stated that he remains in
juvenile custody and that the mother suffered head, arm, and facial injuries. Officials say that the incident happened when the boy and this mother got into an accident. The boy apparently fled the scene but later returned and hid under the bed with a hammer. There has been nothing forthcoming about the nature of their argument.

The article and the reports were unclear of whether the boy was charged as an adult or a juvenile. In past cases, it is usually understood that a juvenile may be tried as an adult if he or she is 14 or older when committing certain crimes. Because the boy in the above situation is only 13-years-old it is likely he will be tried as a juvenile. His crime can still carry significant penalties due to determinate sentencing. This can drastically change the way a penalty is handled. Aggravated assault is one of the crimes that can be acted upon with determinate sentencing. The juvenile can be committed to the Texas Youth Commission with a possible transfer to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for up to 40 years.

The boy’s charges are considered under state adult law as a felony of the first degree. There are obviously many conditions to consider when your child has been convicted of a crime. It can be quite a stressful experience especially if significant harm was done. We strongly recommend you to contact an attorney in this situation. The legal team at the Martinez Law Firm can help you and your child reviews the charges to determine the best course of action.
