Brooks City Base, TX DWI Law Firms & Lawyers

Sadly, you can't know the answer for sure until your case is either won or lost or ends in an acceptable plea bargain. Since second and subsequent convictions carry jail time (including a minimum period of incarceration) many people think it's worth fighting. But why not consult with an experienced OWI lawyer and see what she or he says about your possible defenses?

It will be up to the Judge, ultimately. If you violate your probation by - for example, being convicted of commiting another crime (public intoxication in your case), the state can file a motion to revoke your probation. The felony probation would mean you could be revoked and sentenced anywhere within the punishment range for that offense. So if the offense were, for example, a 3rd degree felony, you could be revoked and sentenced from 2 to 10 years in prison (even if your probation is shorter). These are all what COULD happen. You also could have your probation reinstated or extended with additional conditions. Whats IS going to happen? Impossible to predict. If you want to increase your chances of staying on probation, hire an attorney to represent you on the probation revocation.  Good luck!
