Warrant Question

[TexasBlues]

What is the name of your state? Texas.

I know someone who is on parole in the state of Texas from a felony conviction. There is a warrant for this person, a misder. charge. There is a second warrant about to be issued, this one will be a felony charge.

The person knows about the first warrant, and isn't all that concerned. But the person doesn't know about the second warrant that is about to be issued.

Friends have tried telling this person that with just the one warrant trouble is coming. Are we wrong? This person really seems to believe that nothing is going to happen because the charge is a misder.

What is going to happen when this person goes for regular reporting to the parole officer?

He'll probably go to jail ... parole generally requires that the parolee agree to obey all laws. Obviously he decided not to pay attention to that tiny part of the agreement.

One More Question

Yes, the person in question has not been very smart. Even being given every chance in the world to start over with a new life hasn't had any effect.

The person knows that there is a warrant. The police have been to the residence a couple of times, however they haven't done anything when the door has gone unanswered. The person feels that nothing is going to happen, but I am not so certain. When this person goes the next time to report to the parole officer, will the warrant be served at that time?

Thanks for your help.

Advise you friend not show up at the parole office. It is certain that he will be cuffed and a revocation hearing with in thirty days. After that he'll catch chain to a TDCJ transfer facility. Let him run for now, no big deal. But when they are ready for him, bet your last dollar they will find him.

Are you serious, 'JudgeNJury', you would advise the OP to tell the friend to avoid going to his parole officer meeting?

I agree they will eventually catch up to him, and parole may not be in the offer next time. Since he cannot abide by the laws. He will pay the price of what he has done and should not have taken advantage of the opportunity he was given to remain free.

Well that's right Happy Trails, I do advise this person to run for the time being, have fun!!!. TDCJ is not really in a hurry to throw him in the clinker again. They know he is a non-agg, non-sex felon who has very little brain. When they are ready to receive him back in prison, they simply track him down with in weeks and he will serve out the entire sentences that are given to him.

This happens all of the time and all of the time, the get person they are looking for except the smart ones who cross the borders into Mexico.

Still in Texas.

The person in question has been told about the warrant. Still, the person is not worried and has stated that when it's time to report to the parole officer nothing will happen.

Since the last time I wrote newer charges have been filed. This time for credit card fraud. Credit card fraud against a 53 year old man and an 83 year old woman! Both of which this person knows and harrassed on Christmas with many telephone calls. With these charges, no advanced warning is going to be given.

I'm sorry but this person is too stupid or arrogant to run from the law. This person honestly believes that nothing is going to happen. There are problems with our prisons and judicial system, but this person is someone who isn't a victim and deserves no more chances. There are people who are locked up and shouldn't be. Then there are people like this who should be locked up for a very long time, but are allowed to run the streets wild.
