More details to this question:
I have a DUI misdemeanor and controlled substance felony. On probation now for 3 years. This is my first time violating my probation by getting in trouble for public intoxication. I went to jail for it and was released some hours later. I paid the ticket immediately and seeked out help for my mental health. All of my court fines and probation fines are paid on time and being paid on extra each month. My community service hours are almost finished. I’m almost done with the two online classes I’m required to take. And I’m supposed to start HOPE classes as soon as they can fit me in. I live in Cleburne Texas and want to know what’s going to happen to me? I don’t want to go back to jail.

It will be up to the Judge, ultimately. If you violate your probation by - for example, being convicted of commiting another crime (public intoxication in your case), the state can file a motion to revoke your probation. The felony probation would mean you could be revoked and sentenced anywhere within the punishment range for that offense. So if the offense were, for example, a 3rd degree felony, you could be revoked and sentenced from 2 to 10 years in prison (even if your probation is shorter). These are all what COULD happen. You also could have your probation reinstated or extended with additional conditions.
Whats IS going to happen? Impossible to predict. If you want to increase your chances of staying on probation, hire an attorney to represent you on the probation revocation.
Good luck!
