Does anyone have a link to laws in Texas governing the court's ability to revoke probation based on failed polygraphs as I have seen for Florida in this forum? My situation is that I have completed treatment and am just waiting out he final month before completing my sentence. After so very many years of enduring this crap, it would be nice to know that Texas has the intelligence to not allow such a thing, just as Florida. I have "passed" poly's for the last five years or more, but, ya never know when you're gonna have a bad day.
Here are the recomended guiglines for giving the test. http://antipolygraph.org/documents/csotpoly.pdf If you fing the law I would be interested.
Please check out this link http://www.tjpc.state.tx.us/publications/reviews/99/99-3-24.htm It seems to be a leter form a ploygraph examiner asking the juvenile probation department questions about the ploygraph. Toward the end the state says that a probationer has the rite to plead the 5th and it cites cases that where filed in other states.
Does anyone know if this is currently true. It claims that the last update was on 7-5-2005.
