Question by linda102752: 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 .

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).
