Probation Eligibility Following a Texas Felony

If you have been convicted of a crime, you may be eligible for probation. If you are only convicted of a misdemeanor and you chose to have a judge assess your punishment, you are eligible. If your sentence was chosen by a jury, you are only eligible for probation if you filed a motion before the trial with the judge that states that you have not previously been convicted of a felony. If the jury finds this true, you are eligible for probation. For class A and B misdemeanors, the maximum period of probation is two years.
