Motion To Adjudicate Guidance

Summary

A motion to adjudicate in Texas involves determining if probation terms were violated. If found guilty, you could face the maximum punishment for the original offense. Writing a letter to the judge may help, but its crucial to have it reviewed by a lawyer. Texas offers diversion programs for first-time offenders, but eligibility varies. For state jail felonies like theft of property valued at $2,500 to $30,000, penalties can include 180 days to 2 years in jail and fines up to $10,000. Deferred probation reinstatement is complex and depends on the violation specifics. Legal aid organizations like East Texas Legal Services can provide assistance.
