State and Federal Post-Conviction Appeals

If you are found guilty of a crime, you will have an opportunity to file an appeal. There are time limits for filing an appeal, so it is best that you seek representation as soon as possible after a conviction.

The attorneys, judges and courts are only human, and they will make mistakes and errors in the record. If an error was made during the course of your trial, you may have grounds for an appeal. If you are successful with an appeal, your conviction may be overturned and you will either obtain a new trial or a release.

We have extensive experience with criminal defense law in Texas, including state felony cases, federal crimes, juvenile cases involving minors, and post-conviction criminal appeals.

We will thoroughly review the court records, looking for mistakes that could lead to a successful appeal. As Texas appeals lawyers, we handle many criminal appeals for clients who represented by other counsel at trial.

To discuss your conviction and any mistakes you believe were made during the course of your trial, please call (214) 550-5771 to schedule a confidential consultation.

Difference Between Deferred Adjudication & Straight Probation in Texas

Criminal probation can take the form of deferred adjudication probation or straight-probation, also referred to as “community supervision”. This is an alternative to jail or prison time.

Deferred adjudication probation means that the charges will be dismissed upon the successful completion of your probation.

Straight-probation means you were found guilty. With either option of probation, the possibility of jail or prison time will always remain an option if you violate your terms and conditions.

Both types of probation may require several court-ordered conditions, and failure to comply with the terms of probation will likely land you in jail.

It is best to consult an experienced lawyer if you have violated your terms of community supervision or probation. Always seek the advice of an attorney before admitting to any violations. You may have defenses and grounds to fight your probation-revocation.

Parole Violation, Revocation & Reinstatement in Texas

The decision to grant or deny parole is made by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice Parole Board (pardons and parole division). Parole is a system where a prisoner earns the opportunity to be released from jail prior to completing the full prison sentence.

A prisoner may earn parole or time off for good behavior and other positive signs of rehabilitation. Conversely, they can lose credits for good behavior by criminal misconduct and other misconduct.

Appealing A Parole Violation

We assist people with their parole, including preparation for parole hearings. We also represent individuals charged with a parole violation. If you violate your parole, then you must hire an attorney to fight for your freedom.
