Would a dui violate someone who is on parole. This occurred in Texas. This would be their 6th offense.

Richard Keith Oliver
Answered by attorney Richard Keith Oliver (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at The Law Office of Rick Oliver
It depends on the PO, usually. Also, it depends on what the person is on parole for. If they're on parole for a felony DWI, my guess is a new DWI allegation would certainly violate them. It would probably be a big issue if he/she is on parole for a drug case, since the two are closely related. The biggest thing he/she needs to worry about at this point, is hiring the very best attorney they can to fight the DWI. If they win, they'll have a stronger argument before the Board of Pardons and Parole.

What does it mean if a probable cause charge is filed but the judge doesn't sign it?

DUI/DWI lawyer at Clos, Russell & Wirth, P.C.
Not sure I know what you are referring to. The prosecutor decides whether to bring a charge, not the judge. If you were charged with a felony, a preliminary examination (aka probable cause hearing) must be held. If the judge determines there is not probable cause, s/he will dismiss the charge.

Can I be charged with open container ?

Mark R. Thiessen
Answered by attorney Mark R. Thiessen
DUI/DWI lawyer at Thiessen Law Firm
An open container is a Class C ticket, like speeding. A open container with a DWI means the driver would have to do 3 days in jail for that open container. So really just depends on you. Open container tickets are pretty cheap and easy to defend. Maybe all should talk and work something out.
