ANSWER:
Since he's on for a term of probation more than two years I know he is being supervised for a felony offense. 
Getting arrested is considered an "New Violation" and it will be reported to the court. 
The court will most likely file a motion to proceed to final adjudication or a motion to revoke his probation. 
If he's on deferred probation he is entitled to a bond being set so he can bonded out pending his revocation and trial for his DWI. 
It's important you hire an attorney that practices DWI defense. 
I'm in Tyler and practice many areas of Texas. 
If you'd like to discuss what your son needs to do feel free to contact me.
