Important note: This office handles motions to revoke for most criminal cases, not just driving while intoxicated.

After being placed on probation (called "community supervision" in statutes), the prosecuting attorney may file a "motion to revoke" probation, alleging that the probationer violated the conditions of probation.

Probationers often wrongly assume that a probation officer can "revoke" them. Revocation can occur only after a motion has been filed, served on the probationer, and after the probationer has had an opportunity to defend himself against the allegations in the motion.

The government is then required to prove the probationer violated the conditions of his probation.
