Answer

A failed UA is a violation of probation, whether it happened in the first month of your probation or with one month remaining. Your prior violations don’t help your cause. Your probation can be extended, modified, or revoked. Exactly what will happen is unknown. Call your probation officer; ask if a motion to revoke your probation has been filed so you know whether to call your attorney and arrangements for bond.
