Proof of Travel & Deviation

While you are on this type of supervision you will be required to bring written verification if you travel. If you are looking for work you will be required to keep a log or journal keeping details of you job search along with addresses on where you go. Appointments require proof from the person your appointment is with. You will need written proof before you can deviate from your schedule. All deviation requests should be in within 48 hours. All requests have to be approved by the Courts. There will be no exceptions to this requirement.

The GPS monitoring company will be randomly calling you. Correct and accurate cell and home phone numbers are required.

There will be zero tolerance for all electronic monitoring violations. If there is an emergency after normal working hours call Priscilla Bonilla at 432-742-7350 or 432-638-8802 .
