QUESTION
Is there any way I'll be placed on probation and not go back to jail?

More details to this question:
I was put on probation for class b misdemeanor theft (shoplifting) when I was 19. I was given the option of 30 days jail or 6 months deferred adjudication. I took probation. I received an extra 6 months because I requested in patient rehab. I completed my 90 days in rehab but was arrested 2 weeks later for driving with a suspended license. My PO did not violate me. I did however fail 3 drug tests in a row and never showed back up. I also didn't complete my community service and did not pay my fees. It has been 4 years and I want to turn myself in.

Hire a lawyer. You are going to have to have a really good explanation on why you ran. Be helpful if you have been working and otherwise a law abiding, tax paying citizen. Also, if you completed a drug rehab and are now living drug free that can be a great argument. Turning yourself in (after hiring a lawyer and before being arrested) is also helpful.
