What is the effect if the probation is revoked?
If probation is revoked, the effect is distinctly different if the person is on probation pursuant to a deferred adjudication or on a straight probation. In the case of revocation of probation pursuant to a deferred adjudication, the person is brought before the court and the court may impose at that time a sentence of any range or amount that is within the limits of that type of crime. The risk if a defendant violates the terms of deferred adjudication probation are extremely high. In the case of revocation of a probation that is a straight probation where the defendant pleads guilty, the court upon revocation of that probation can only impose confinement for the remaining term of the probation.
