UNAUTH ABSENCE COMMUNITY CORRECTION FACILITY
Unauthorized Absence Community Correction Facility in Texas: what bail is set at, how often a personal bond is granted, and what usually happens to the charge.
What “UNAUTH ABSENCE COMMUNITY CORRECTION FACILITY” means
Texas Penal Code § 38.113 defines unauthorized absence from a community corrections facility, county correctional center, or assignment site. The State must prove three things: first, that the person was sentenced to, or required as a condition of community supervision (probation) or correctional programming to submit to, a period of detention or treatment in a community corrections facility or county correctional center; second, that the person failed to report to, or left, the facility, the center, or a community service assignment site as directed by the court, the supervising community supervision and corrections department, or the director of the facility or center; and third, that in failing to report or in leaving, the person acted without the approval of that court, department, or director. The offense is a state jail felony. It differs from escape under Texas Penal Code § 38.06, which addresses departures from actual custody.
| Charged as | Possible confinement | Fine | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| State jail felony | 180 days to 2 years in a state jail | Fine up to $10,000 | Penal Code § 12.35 |
Ranges are the statutory maximums for the level; enhancements, prior convictions and plea agreements change what is actually imposed.
