Thinking about traveling while on probation in Texas? It is possible, but you need to follow strict court rules.

For felony probation, you cannot even leave your home county without written approval from your probation officer. Make sure your fees are paid and your drug tests are clean before asking for a travel permit. Drop your questions in the comments below! πŸ‘‡

Knowing when police can legally search your car gives you the power to protect your rights. πŸš˜βš–οΈ Officers cannot look through your vehicle without a valid legal reason. Here are the four exceptions: explicit consent, plain view of illegal items, probable cause, or an inventory search after an arrest. Any search outside of these rules is illegal and could mean the judge throws out the evidence. Drop your questions or traffic stop experiences in the comments below! πŸ‘‡

Do you legally have to show your ID to police in Texas? It depends entirely on if you are walking or driving. Pedestrians only have to identify themselves if they are under lawful arrest, meaning you can refuse during a normal questioning stop. But if you are behind the wheel, Texas law strictly requires you to hand over your license. Lying or giving a fake name is a crime regardless of the situation.

Think police have to read your Miranda rights the second you get handcuffed? Think again. The law requires your rights to be read only when you are in custody and being questioned at the same time. If they are silent or you are free to leave, the rule does not apply. Drop your questions about a recent arrest in the comments below! πŸ‘‡

Did the police forget to read your rights? 🚨 Don't celebrate just yet. The idea that your case automatically gets dismissed is a huge myth.
