When a Motion to Revoke or Motion for Adjudication of Probation is filed, a warrant for your arrest will be issued. Generally, the warrant is issued and a “hold no bond” is placed on the warrant. This means that there is not a bond amount set for the warrant and you will not be able to post a bond or be released from jail if you have been arrested. If a “hold no bond” is placed on the probation revocation warrant, it will be necessary to hire an attorney in order to ask the judge of the court that issued the warrant to set a bond amount. If you still owe fines, court costs or are behind on probation reporting fees, most Fort Worth Judges will not set a bond on a probation revocation warrant until these fees are current or paid in full.
Jeff C. Kennedy is very familiar with the policies and procedures of the Fort Worth Probation Department and the Fort Worth Criminal Courts in regard to probation violations. If a probation revocation warrant has been issued, we can generally arrange for a bond amount to be set and can assist you with the process of posting a bond to secure your release from jail. In most circumstances, we can arrange for a “walk thru” in order to post a probation revocation bond at the Fort Worth Jail Bond Desk and avoid the process of physically being placed in a jail cell for hours or days.
