Asked 5/13/2016 – Lubbock, TX

I’m on 7 year felony probation on an original ten year prison sentence I’m on my 51/2 year how much prison time will I receive if I revoke

Answer

Time spent on probation does NOT count toward credit on any jail time assessed. If you are revoked, you are subject to the 10 year sentence, minus any time you spent in jail on the case prior to sentencing. Get with a local attorney 1) to contest the revocation, and, 2) see about early discharge from probation.
