Article 42A.753. Extension of Community Supervision After Violation

(b) The judge may extend the period of community supervision in a misdemeanor case for any period the judge determines is necessary, not to exceed an additional two years beyond the three-year limit provided by Subsection (a), if:
(1) the defendant fails to pay a previously assessed fine, cost, or restitution; and
(2) the judge determines that extending the supervision period increases the likelihood that the defendant will fully pay the fine, cost, or restitution.
(c) A court may extend a period of community supervision under Article 42A.752(a)(2):
(1) at any time during the supervision period; or
(2) before the first anniversary of the date the supervision period ends, if a motion for revocation of community supervision is filed before the date the supervision period ends.
