Is “Probation” and Community Supervision” different?

By acts of the 71st Legislature, effective January 1990, the name "Adult Probation Department" was changed by law for all departments in the state to "Community Supervision and Corrections Department". This was to recognize the greater scope and role of community corrections in our state today. In keeping with this, in 1993 the 73rd Legislature changed the terms "probation" and "Probation Officer" to "community supervision" and "Community Supervision Officer".

What is the difference between "community supervision" and "parole"?

"Community supervision" is an alternative offered by the court to an individual, who has been adjudicated by the court of committing a criminal offense. Within certain legal guidelines, the court sets a side a sentence and an individual is ordered to participate in the numerous programs and supervision of the community supervision department. "Parole" is a transition from prison to living free in the community. Parole officers assist offenders released from prison to gain employment, receive treatment and move toward becoming productive and positive citizens. (For more information on parole:

Does Probation mean you’ve gotten away with it?

No. If you are community supervision, you have to meet your community supervision officer regularly, draw up a plan of action and work hard to move away from offending. In this respect community supervision may be harder than prison sentence. For people who are used to leading chaotic lives, sticking to a community supervision order is a challenge.

What kind of offenses do people get community supervision for?

A community supervision order (formerly known as a probation order) can be ordered for any offense, which the law makes community supervision an option. The purpose of a community supervision order is to rehabilitate the offender, protect the public and prevent the offender committing further offenses.

Why Did the Offender receive Probation?

Many times, the victim asks why the offender was granted a term of community supervision (probation). In reality, community-based corrections are recognized as having the greatest potential for the effective rehabilitation of the offender and for the control of crime. While some offenders are ineligible for community supervision and are sentenced to a term in prison, the majority can be assisted in dealing with their problems while remaining under the proper supervision.

When offenders are placed on community supervision by a judge or jury, they remain in the community, living at home if possible, and carry on their normal daily activities under the supervision of a community supervision officer.

What is Restitution?

Restitution is the money an offender is ordered by the judge to pay to the victim of an offense for out of pocket expenses. Out of pocket expenses are costs not covered by medical insurance, auto insurance, Medicare, Medicaid or any other source. In most cases, restitution is paid on a monthly basis. The payment is calculated by dividing the amount of restitution by the number of months an offender is on probation. When the offender does make a restitution payment, the payment is mailed out by the probation department on or about the 10th day of the following month.
