Asked on Jul 11th, 2013 on Criminal Law - Texas
More details to this question:
My son and his girlfriend took 80 dollars from an old man after his son punched his girlfriend then broke my son's jaw and then ran away. Out of anger, my son's girlfriend took the old man's wallet and took the money. My son and his girl spent almost two years in jail with a no contact on both. They finished their sentence but judge won't remove no contact. Letters have been written to have it lifted and was requested in court. They want to be together but they will end up back in jail if it doesn't get dropped.

If they are still on probation then the judge can do this. If they have served the maximum sentence then the judge has no more authority over them.

If they are still under supervision of any sort, they must follow the rules of supervision. You can hire a lawyer to try to get the judge to remove the order but it is not likely to happen.
