Early Discharge
An early discharge from probation
(or community supervision) is available for most types of probated cases.
This law is applicable to Misdemeanors and Felonies. Even cases with a
serious underlying offense can be eligible for an early discharge. The
basic rule is that you can apply for an early discharge after two years or
one-third of the time of your probation has passed (whichever is less).
You should know that each judge has his or her specific issues when
applying for an early discharge. That is, the law may allow you to ask for
it, but it is not an automatic right.
You must hire an attorney to
file the appropriate documents and set the case for a hearing. If the
judge grants the request, your probation will be terminated and you will
be released from further obligations.
