Page 5 <strong>of</strong> 15GENERAL QUESTIONS (CONT.)A defendant is placed on misdemeanor probation. He is paying his fines. CSCD is reportinghim on MCSCR as direct misdemeanant. However, CSCD finds out a couple <strong>of</strong> months laterthat the <strong>of</strong>fender appealed his case within the month <strong>of</strong> his placement (meaning he is notconvicted yet). Are amendments to the MCSCR necessary?Yes. Amendments are required. Submit amendments for the affected months following theMCSCR Correction Procedures.An <strong>of</strong>fender has his misdemeanor probation revoked to county jail (for a subsequent <strong>of</strong>fense).The <strong>of</strong>fender is adjudicated and placed on probation (for the new <strong>of</strong>fense) in the same month(possibly at that same hearing). The termination is counted as a revocation to county jail.How is the subsequent placement to probation counted on the MCSCR?A placement can only be counted if the <strong>of</strong>fender has all prior community supervision cases in thecounty terminated, due to revocation to county jail, state jail, or <strong>TDCJ</strong>-ID AND was reinstated tocommunity supervision. Therefore, whether or not this <strong>of</strong>fender can be counted as a placementis contingent upon whether or not he served time in county jail (either after revocation or if thejudge awards credit for time served while awaiting adjudication).If the <strong>of</strong>fender served time in county jail, the CSCD should report a placement under Returnfrom Shock Incarceration (Item II.A.1.c.1).If the <strong>of</strong>fender did not serve time in county jail, the CSCD should not report a placement sincethe <strong>of</strong>fender never left direct supervision <strong>of</strong> the CSCD.A felony <strong>of</strong>fender (court indicted) is ordered as a condition <strong>of</strong> bond to report to CSCD.However, the only paperwork that CSCD has is the <strong>of</strong>fender’s bond paper with the judge’sinitial/signature. Is this pro<strong>of</strong>/documentation sufficient so that they can report him/her on theMCSCR?No. A document that indicates an <strong>of</strong>fender made bond with the judge’s initials/signature is notenough documentation for him/her to be reported on MCSCR and for <strong>CJAD</strong> to pay the CSCD forhim/her. In order to be counted on the MCSCR, the department also needs the written conditions<strong>of</strong> bond.CSCD staff only found the bond paper. The file has an application for writ <strong>of</strong> habeas corpus(5 pages with application, affidavit, and order signed by judge) with the judge’s grant for bailreduction plus his conditions. This was filed in the clerk’s <strong>of</strong>fice. Is this enoughpro<strong>of</strong>/documentation so the department can report him/her on the MCSCR?Yes.- 27 ­
