I am a lawyer in CT and practice in this area of the law. A probation violation generally occurs when you get arrested for something new. It does not matter that the underlying charge had nothing to do with alcohol. Probation conditions usually say that you must obey all the laws of TX including those in other states. You need to hire a lawyer to deal with the new charge and the probation violation hearing. You may be able to make a deal that gets you out of doing time in jail.
