Answer

Missouri retains jurisdiction over your husband’s case, so it will be the court up there that makes the decision about reinstating his probation. Extradition is the process of transferring your husband from Texas to Missouri, and you can retain a local attorney for that process. If and when he is transferred to Missouri, you will have to retain a Missouri attorney in the probation revocation.
