Krupa v. State
The district court had authority under Family Code §54.051
to extend the defendant's juvenile probationary term after he was
transferred to the district court, placed on community supervision, and
after the expiration of the original probationary period (but within
the extended period) revoke the probation and sentence him to seven
years in prison. Under the Family Code, a juvenile is subject to the rules of CCP art. 42.12,
which applies for the remainder of the probationary period set by the
juvenile court. A district court to which the case is transferred may
impose conditions provided in art. 42.12 as long they are consistent
with those ordered by the juvenile court. The defendant violated
numerous conditions of his community supervision, and the district
court handled these violations by modifying his community supervision.
The defendant agreed to the modifications, including the extension of
his probationary period, in lieu of revocation.
