How to check time/date of court hearing?

Why am I on Pretrial Supervision if I am considered innocent until proven guilty?

A Judge reviewed the charges against you and determined that there is probable cause for charges to be filed against you. Texas law allows for pretrial supervision and Texas’s Constitution even allows for pretrial detention in limited cases. The presumption of innocence is trial concept implying that the prosecution has the burden to prove that you are guilty.

Isn’t Pretrial Supervision just another form of Probation?

No. Probation is a sentence imposed after conviction. Pretrial Supervision is a condition of your release pending the resolution of your case and is in place to assist you in fulfilling your release conditions.

Are there any advantages for me to being on Pretrial Supervision?

Yes. Pretrial Services offers assistance with employment, substance abuse, and other services. All you need to do is ask. In addition, reports can be provided, at your request, to your attorney and/or the judge regarding your compliance while on pretrial supervision. If you do well on pretrial supervision, this may have a positive effect on the outcome of your case.

Does pretrial services exist just to make money?

No, Pretrial Services does not make money supervising defendants. However, Pretrial Services saves El Paso County significant dollars annually by reducing jail bed usage.

What happens if I don’t comply with Pretrial Services conditions?

The seriousness of the violation will determine our response. Pretrial staff will generally try to contact you to gain compliance before taking further action. We will file a violation for serious violations and repeated violations. This may result in a warrant for your arrest.

What if I think my substance test will be positive? Should I still check in?

You should still report in and take your test because if you miss a test this is a serious violation. At this time you may request to speak with a staff person who will try to help you through your circumstance. Your willingness to seek help may positively benefit you, and may help you avoid being arrested.
