Lindsay Lohan Violates Probation
You have probably already read that Actress Lindsay Lohan was ordered to serve 90 days in jail for missing alcohol counseling sessions in violation of her probation. The judge also ordered Lohan to spend 90 days in a drug and alcohol rehab program after her jail term is completed.
The actress must begin serving her sentence on July 20, Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel said.
As the current administration likes to say, this is a teaching moment. The bottom line is, if you are on probation, follow the rules. Don't allow a judge to take your freedom away. In Texas, as in California, there are consequences for not following the rules on probation. For a first time DWI you could face up to 180 days in jail. Additionally your driver's license can be suspended.
Your best bet is to not be convicted of DWI to begin with. But if you end up on probation follow the rules and keep yourself out of jail.
