QUESTION

What to expect at admonishment hearing for probation violation

Asked on May 14th, 2014 on DUI/DWI - Texas
More details to this question:
DWI probation required a breathalyzer to be installed in my vehicle. I had one odd fail , PO said it was upwards of .08, two hours later was 0.0. All other conditions of my probation have been followed and other sentencing (CS, DWI classes, fines, etc.) have been completed.

The answer depends on a couple of things: (1) what court are you in? (2) is there a non-alcohol-related explanation for the high blow into the GI?  Don't make the mistake of thinking that compliance with all other terms will do you any good. As a particularly crotchety old Judge growled at me once: "It only takes one [violation]!"  Your probation can be perfect. But, if the reason your GI blow was high was because you were drinking, you should expect bad things to happen with your probation.
