This is considered a technical violation of his probation. He better have a good reason for not reporting. He needs an attorney to speak with probation and the district attorney's office to see if they will continue or modify his probation.
Ultimately he is looking at up to two years and a ten thousand dollar fine if he's revoked.
Since this is considered a State Jail Felony offense he would have to serve his time day for day. Meaning there is no good time credit for early release from state jail.
Hire an attorney now.
Sincerely,
Erick Platten

What is the punishment range for a third 3rd degree felony in Texas?
Question?
My brother is 17th he is being charged with 3 felony Burglary of a Habitation. He has gotta in trouble before but nothing this bad, what will the judge think of him with 3 felony Can the attorney work something out? He's in jail we'll I write this we paid the jail release just waiting to see what happens next. Is there hope for him and my family?
The punishment range for burglary of a habitation is either a 2nd degree or a first degree felony dependent on the facts of the burglary.
It is a second degree felony if the burglary was for theft purposes only. The punishment is anywhere between 2-20 years up to $10,000 fine or probation if probation eligible.
It is a first degree felony if the person enters the habitation to commit a felony other than felony theft. Like assault or robbery. Then the range of punishment is between 5-99 years and up to a $10,000 fine.
It's difficult for any attorney to give you a prediction of what will happen not knowing the facts and circumstances of your brothers case.
These sentences can either run concurrently together or consecutively.
What I can tell you is that he needs the best representation possible to help him through this process.
If you wold like to discuss this feel free to contact my office.
