Classification

Class A Misdemeanor

Max Penalty

Up to 1 year in jail + $4,000 fine

Violation of a bond condition or court order typically arises when a defendant contacts a protected party or violates another term of their bail conditions or a protective order issued under Texas Penal Code § 25.07 or CCP Art. 17.292. A first offense is generally a Class A Misdemeanor (up to one year jail, $4,000 fine). A prior conviction for the same offense, or use of a deadly weapon, elevates it to a Third-Degree Felony. Courts treat bond condition violations as a serious breach of the judicial system and often result in bond revocation and detention pending trial.
