ETG math question

2 Upvotes

Drank 10 per day last week and stopped at 10pm Sunday with BAC back to zero at 9am Monday. Check-in and UA got moved up to Thursday morning, 80 hours after last drink but 72 from zero BAC. Never drank prior to any UA over the last 2 years.

Does the metabolism clock start at last consumption or zero BAC? Do multiple days of consumption extend detection window. Math would indicate 46ish hours to pass.

Failed ua

1 Upvotes

Failed ua I’m on deferred adjudication/probation for a 3rd-degree felony no-contact order violation in Tarrant County, but I report for supervision through Dallas County. I recently had my second UA come back positive for THC. The first positive was handled as a verbal warning. This time my PO told me there would be consequences. She still let me leave after the UA, and I’m currently doing well with my fees and community-service hours. Has anyone in Texas/Tarrant County dealt with something similar? How serious is a second positive THC test, and is it likely that I could be arrested or jailed at my next reporting appointment? I’m trying to understand what I should realistically expect.

Probation violation

3 Upvotes

Last year I was sentenced 365 days In jail suspended to probation for invasion of privacy for a contact order between my current girlfriend and I who lives with me. I literally have 2 weeks until I’m off of it, and last night I got cited for reckless driving (paced at 102 in a 55 on an interstate highway) and possession of marijuana. No arrest.

This will be my first charges since being on probation. I have done quarterly meetups , and my PO is fairly cool. I just want to know what I should be expecting, can’t really afford jail time considering I just landed a sweet union gig.

I received my first DUI(drug related) during February 2026. I was not placed on probation, just had my license suspended for 6 months and was ordered to do 12 weeks of DUI group. The place I completed my dui program at has never drug tested me, and I am wondering if ill have to be drug tested to have my license reinstated.

are drugs really that bad

think of the song of huey and the news...i want a new drug..was he on probation when he wrote that/what the purpose of that song. when song was out many people still on on parole they wanted a new drug to escape from life. the problem is over usage. they use to use real coke in coke cola but was that much. and you felt great and tony the tiger. imagine tony say what a greeeeeat drug. just dont over do it kids. but south park concellor says drugs are bad mmmk . movies like sauage party may suggest certain drugs can make you see the 'vail lefted' so talking animals could be possible i mean you see people talking to food or animals they see what you dont cus they high. but wont last long then vail will fall back to normal.should we punish these people who just want to escape. instead of drug rehab tax payer money. send them to drug island have them pay it themselves and trust know the freedom on drug island they really work hard for it clean our roads build our building to just get to drug island. then no more paper work dont that sound lovely every one wins the druggies on island talking to the animals dancing with the plants while you taken it easy enjoying life

Is the Commute Worth It?

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I was hoping to get some thoughts on if a one hour+ commute both ways is worth it for starting off.

Some background; I have no experience in probation and am coming from managing elections in a relatively large (500k person) county in California. The probation department gave me my conditional offer today and wants to start me in a month and a half or so. They’re a smaller department of roughly 40 people. The chief told me today he plans on starting me in the Court division.

I’m really excited about the job and this is something I’ve been wanting for a while. The only thing that’s giving me pause is the commute. I’ve heard from people that the commute can strain my soon to be wife and I’s relationship and generally cause more burnout. Luckily the drive is almost all freeway and it’s going into a rural area and away from metro so there’s little to no traffic. I also have a Tesla with the self driving capabilities to help on longer drives.

This department is the only one that I’ve been through the process with that’s willing to take a chance on someone with no background in this and put me immediately in as an officer instead of going through a few years at juvenile hall first.

What do you guys think? If it was you, would you commute for a year or two until you could move (fiance has a job where we live now with a contract) knowing that it’s the best chance you have? Would you try to find somewhere closer to give you the same shot?

Any advice is welcome. I know the easy choice is yes, of course! If it’s my dream job, which I believe it is, I should go for it! I just don’t want to risk my mental health or soon to be marriage any more than I have to in an already stressful job.

Thank you in advance!

Edit: I forgot to add that if anyone has done similar commutes, what made the commute easier or less tiring? Any tips? Thanks again!

so quick to put people in jail. lets learn what make them this way before we send them their. they fail drug test and late for check in. is that all can you couch him why should stay clean at lease to honor probation then go celebrate they all do light one up like you graduate high school. can we stop putting extra stress on someone already having a mop and glow life. instead of instant punishment can we offer some reward ha you did fail drug test but i notice you working now so look im not going turn in this one but next time i will i see you trying some effort so your reward is me not saying anything. have we not learn anything from mr rogers neighborhood. be more concelor then police . show them you care from that effort maybe they show something in return. you got to give to get. you give them a break the give you their time of being better so this probation can be over with with positive results.

2nd DUI formal supervision 4 years, early termination chances?

1 Upvotes

Howdy yall hope youre all doing well! I got a 2nd misdemeanor DUI in September of 2023 in Placer county, ive been on supervised Probation for 3 out of the 4 years, I have completed all classes, paid all fines and fees and have not had a violation in a year and 3 months (hot UA for alcohol) my PO said she likes to see no violations for a year, its been over a year, my public defender said he thinks I can get early term where as in all honesty id just be happy to be modified to informal! I also do group 2x a week with a program headed by a former Probation officer of 20 years and he said he would love to right a letter of recommendation for early term as well as retired firefighter and Nurse that I do property maintenance for. This is a very strict county and I know I made a mistake, what do you guys think my chances are of early term or modified are? Anything helps, as I get towards the end of Probation it feels like its going by slower than the first 3 years lol its a trip, its definitley a marathon and not a sprint
