Can two felons that are siblings parole to the same house in the state of Texas?

Interesting question. Typically a condition of release in any state for a parolee is to not have contact with other felons. This is to assist them in not getting back into a life of crime.

The state's right to dictate that comes from the fact that the parolee is released early, so as a condition of that early release, agrees to certain conditions.

However, since the overarching goal is the successful reintegration of the parolee into society, it might be argued that to forbid him from contact with family - or deprive him of a house if his parents wish him to move in with them and his felon brother - would increase his chances of failure.

Section 508.0441 (a) of the Texas law pertaining to what the parole board will determine, includes (2) "conditions of parole or mandatory supervision, including special conditions" and (3) "the modification and withdrawal of conditions of parole or mandatory supervision".

This indicates on first reading - though a local attorney could speak with more authority - that they have the power to let a parolee be in the same house with his felon brother, but it does not compel them to.

The simplest course of action, and ultimately the only one that there really is, is to simply request that special exception from the Parole Officer of the parolee, and see what he says. Obviously if the answer is not liked, an attorney can be sought afterward to see what - if any - options may still then exist.

What is the statute of limitations of pending parole violations?

If your parole violation consisted of you committing a criminal offense, THAT offense may have an SOL, but it does not affect your parole obligation. There are no SOL's on parole violations - the reason being is that you have already been convicted of that crime and are serving the sentence. You are released, on parole, from incarceration based on rules and regulations and not laws and statutes.

No. In all states former felons are prohibited from working in the healthcare industry, and education. In some states, certain types of drivers license are not permitted to former felons.

Former felons may be openly discriminated against under cover of state and federal law for n o other reason than that person was previously convicted of a felony.

How can you leave Minnesota and get the Minnesota conditional release dropped?

A conditional release has very specific provisions and most circumstances are unique. It probably is not a good idea to leave the state unless a judge authorizes it.

When it appears necessary to enforce discipline or to prevent a person on conditional release from escaping or absconding from supervision, the chief executive officer or designee of a community corrections agency in a CCA county has the authority to issue a written order directing any peace officer or any probation officer in the state serving the district and juvenile courts to detain and bring the person before the court or the commissioner, whichever is appropriate, for disposition.

Can you own a handgun if you were convicted of burglarizing an auto almost 20 years ago?

Depends on the state you live in. In California, a felon may not own or possess any gun of any kind. However, Federal Law is different. Only violent felonies may preclude you from owning a gun. If it is a non-violent offense, odds are pretty good you can own a long gun. You should always check with local and state law enforcement before you attempt to buy a gun, as being a felon and merely attempting to purchase one can land you in jail.

What are the rules and regulations that a parole officer has to go by in order to revoke someones parole?

All agencies have their own rules and regulations and it is dependent on the jurisdiction. However, as a general statement of procedure; the PO acts as an investigator - submits his report to the sentencing judge - and the judge will hold a hearing in which he will hear your testimony - after which he will make a ruling as to what action he will take regarding your probation. NOTE: Probation IS a sentence for a crime for which you have already been tried and found guilty. You possessed all your criminal procedure safeguards during the trial - and this heaing on your violation is merely a procedural hearing on whether you will lose your privileged sentence and be remanded to jail.

What does 041980dr010civ escambia county sheriffs office federal charge violation mean?

This appears to be a court case number, although the numbers would usually be in a slightly different format or order. The letters "civ" in a court case number usually mean that this is a civil case (as opposed to a criminal case). Usually the first two numbers come from the last two digits of the year the suit was originally filed; but it is usually offset from the rest with a dash (e.g., 04-1980, indicating that it is the 1,980th case filed in 2004 with this particular court). However, in this case, if the numbers are out of order, the "010" could indicate that it was filed in 2010 and be case number 041980, or the 41,980th case filed in 2010. Most attorneys and legal professionals would have given the latter case number as "10-41980." If this were a state court case (it is difficult to tell from the information given), then the "dr" could well indicate that this is also a domestic relations case filed in the domestic relations division of the court. These cases are mostly divorces, child custody disputes, petitions for injunctions in domestic violence cases, etc. Usually these are kept confidential from the general public.

How much time can a probation officer pull if you fail first drug test in 8yrs on probation and have never been in violation?

This would be considered a "technical" violation, meaning that there are no new charges. The most amount of time that CAN be revoked for a technical violation is two years (for a felony conviction, which this obviously was a felony due to the amount of time on probation). However, if the person on probation is honest with his/her probation officer then they will usually work together. It's usually best to be honest and upfront with a probation (and parole) officer. I don't know the details ~ did the probationer tell the probation officer he/she had used prior to the test or did the probationer play "dumb" and try to lie to get out of it. With what I have seen over the past 14 years, the probation officer can give the probationer a very stern warning and may 'up' the terms of probation (possibly putting him/her on, say, 3-6 months of intensive probation or make him/him attend some type of drug classes for a certain amount of time). I have a friend who had been passing drug tests by using someone else's urine and after months and months of doing this, she finally broke down and confessed to the fact that she had been using. Her parole officer put her in jail for 45 days and when she got out of jail, she went straight back into the 3/4ths house where she has been for approximately two (2) years. I am certainly no expert, but this is what I have seen and heard for the past 14 years.
