What is the punishment in texas for someone who violates parole and does not think he is really in trouble

What is the punishment in texas for someone who violates parole and does not think he is really in trouble?
Parolee leaves county a with permission to travel to county b to go into rehab facility for drug addiction provided he wears an ankle monitor . Parolee thinks this rehab might be able to help and since he would be totally off parole in 3 months he would try it. Rehad not cracked up to be as great as touted. Finds out it is run using the principles of the Church of Scientology and he and family disagrees with their therapy which was to put him in a hot sauna 5 hours a day and give him large doses of niacin telling him this will sweat the drugs out and niacin would get rid of radition. He disagrees with their ways and their religious beliefs. He wants to com back to county a and county b says no. He leaves anyway in fear of his life, removes ankle monitor and returns to county a. He does not check in with either county and thinks it will be ok to wait till parole day is up in few months then go to them and they won't do anything about all of this. I said yes they will, they will go retroactive to when parole was violated and time starts from there and oh by the way destroying ankle braclet belonging to state is destruction of property. should we go ahead and make him turn himself in now or wait till parole date and think they won't do anything about the parole violation. PLEASE ADVISE ANY LAWYERS OR PAROLE OFFICERS OUT THERE. IM SURE IM RIGHT JUST NEED SOME BACKUP .

Answer 1 :
The punishment is probably revocation of parole, plus maybe extra time for destroying the ankle bracelet. The parolee needs to contact his parole officer ASAP and explain everything. If the rehab center is clearly using Scientology teachings, the court may take that into consideration (in Texas, I think Scientologists are considered worse than most parole violators, what with the Hollywood connection and all).
Answer 2 :
what does he thinks going to happen,? his parole ends then they, 'oh, well. ok, your done..bye."? I dont think so... he might even get sometime for breaking parole and taking his ankle monitor off..
Answer 3 :
sorry to hear county B was being mean andnot letting him go back. In texas, this is a technical violation which will land him back in prison. Nowif he went out and committed a new crime, he probably would have been fine as Tx thinks stupid. If it makes sense, it cannot be done and if it doesn't make sense, by all means we will accomadate you.

I am 16 and I am hoping for my mother to get custody of me rather than my father but there are some problems

I am 16 and I am hoping for my mother to get custody of me rather than my father but there are some problems?
My mom has a history of drug addiction but has gone through rehab and has been of probation for about six months. My father moved out of state and cannot return because he is remarried. Do you think the judge will give custody to my mother even though her past is not the greatest? This is in the state of texas by the way. Thanks!

Answer 1 :
Honestly idk what the Judge will do, i'm shure you will have a say in this, if your comforable living with your mother, then they should just leave it be. (hopefully ;)
Answer 2 :
it is your choice. but.. the fact the ur mother has had an addiction problem they might want to check on her often to see if she is able to care for you.
Answer 3 :
16 might make you legally old enough to choose, check up on your state laws.
Answer 4 :
nope maybe your dad will let you smoke pot in the house goodluck
Answer 5 :
You (usually in the courts eyes) are old enough to tell them how you feel and where you want to live. My advice is write a letter to the judge (submit it through family services or the lawyer). Tell him how she has impacted your live in all positive aspects as possible and how you will benefit from living with her (future plans and goals in the area she lives in- to better your and her life) and how moving with your dad interrupts all your plans. If you need to dish some dirt on your dad stating why you don't want to live with her (he doesn't support your dreams, future goals, etc.) Good luck! I hope this helps!
Answer 6 :
Well,I have been through this manyy times! In all actuality, the judge doesn't care about what you want. The judge will do whatever seems best. To him it doesn't matter what seems better to you or your mom,he is going to look at your moms charges and say what he thinks. Hope this helps(: -SpidermanSilly(:
Answer 7 :
At 16 you can go to the court and talk to the judge and have that judge change your custody. It is your right at this point. In most states, the age of self-determination of custody is 14. Make sure your mom is up to having custody of you. If she can't provide a stable home life, you don't need to be there because you would actually be a greater burden for her, and thus add to her stress. This really has to come down to what is the most stable home life for you. This isn't about getting away from your dad's new wife. You only have 2 years until you are 18, so you might as well follow through with your education and start holding a part-time job and save some money so you can launch right after you graduate.
