979-361-4874.

Order for House Arrest and Electronic Monitoring Rev. 09/04/19 Page 2

travel to and from your place of employment unless otherwise ordered by the Court or pre-approved by the Provider or

the Sheriff.

2. Traveling to and from your residence and educational facility when you are attending school, college or

vocational training pursuant to a schedule that is coordinated, approved and verified with the Provider. A maximum

daily total of forty-five (45) minutes is allowed for travel to and from your place of employment unless otherwise

ordered by the Court or pre-approved by the Provider or the Sheriff. Please note, study groups and library study time is

not an approved activity.

3. Reporting to court, probation, recovery meetings, counseling, and community service.

4. Transporting children, living in your household and for whom you are the primary legal conservator, to and

from school during normal school hours.

5. Obtaining non-emergency medical/dental/mental health treatment. Visits to the hospital emergency room

will not be excused except in the event of an actual emergency.

6. A maximum of 2 undocumented hours per week is allowed for personal business.

7. Attending meetings with the Provider, the Sheriff, or the Court as directed.

Your work or school schedule must be coordinated with the Provider, and this schedule will be strictly enforced.

medical/dental/mental health appointments must be reported and verified to the Provider in advance. You must

consent to 1) the full release and verification of scheduling and attendance information by your physician or other

healthcare provider to the Provider, the Sheriff and the Court, and 2) the full release and verification of scheduling and

attendance information by your employer or the educational institution you are attending. In the event of a medical

emergency, you must notify the Provider immediately, and you must provide written proof of your emergency to the

Provider as soon as possible. You must provide any information requested by the Provider or the Sheriff to verify your

schedules and/or compliance.

ANY variations in your schedule must be pre-approved by the Provider in coordination with the Sheriff, and

must be documented in writing. The Court has authorized the Sheriff to allow variations with good cause (i.e. attending

a funeral, relocating residences, etc.). Only properly requested schedule variations that are verified and deemed justified

in the discretion of the Provider and the Sheriff will be approved. Such requests must be communicated to the Provider

at least 24 hours in advance.

If the Provider or the Sheriff reports to the Court that 1) you have violated the Court’s Order for House Arrest

and Electronic Monitoring, these General Conditions, or any terms of the Judgment and/or Sentence in your case, or 2)

any event has occurred which causes this order to be subject to termination, the Court will decide, WITHOUT A

HEARING OR NOTICE TO YOU, if a violation or such an event has occurred. The Court will then make a determination

whether or not to rescind or revoke the Order permitting electronic monitoring. If this Order is rescinded or revoked,

you will be remanded into the Sheriff’s custody to serve the remainder of your sentence in jail. If revoked, you will only

receive day for day credit. You will NOT

receive good time credit. You will receive credit for days served on the

monitor and actual days previously served in jail.

If the court reviews your violation and determines that an admonishment, rather than revocation is appropriate,

the Provider will contact you to personally appear at their office, with your equipment

, to sign a NOTICE OF GPS

VIOLATION ON THE ELECTRONIC MONITORING PROGRAM (Admonishment Form). You must appear and sign the

Admonishment Form before 3 p.m. the same day that you are contacted by the Provider. Failure to appear and sign the

Admonishment Form on that same date will result in revocation.

YOU MAY NOT contact the Court directly, except as directed by the Provider, regarding any terms of this

Order or in the event of the revocation of this Order. DO NOT have anyone contact the Court directly on your behalf.

THE COURT WILL NOT DISCUSS YOUR CASE OR THE TERMS OF THE MONITOR WITH ANYONE CALLING ON YOUR

BEHALF.

Order for House Arrest and Electronic Monitoring Rev. 09/04/19 Page 3

You are responsible for all costs of your food, shelter, and medical, dental and mental health care. The privilege

of participation in the Program carries with it the responsibility to care for yourself. The conditions of your participation

in the Program provide you with a reasonable opportunity to obtain medical, dental and mental health care of your own

choosing.

Your activities in applying for or seeking medical benefits assistance from a government or non-profit agency will

be considered medical appointments for purposes of these conditions.

ELECTRONIC MONITORING REQUIREMENTS

1. You must have electricity in your home. Generators, long extension cords or battery-powered devices are not

acceptable and may be grounds for termination from the Program. Failure to properly charge your battery as directed by

the Provider or allowing your battery to die, for any period of time, can result in revocation.

2. You must have telephone service. A landline is not required; cell phone service is acceptable. You must

answer telephone calls from the Sheriff or the Provider, regardless of the time of day or night. You may not block or

restrict calls from the Sheriff or the Provider.

3. You must make timely payments. At your first visit, you are required to pay a $75.00 non-refundable

enrollment fee. In addition, you will also be required to pay monitoring fees in advance on a bi-weekly basis. You

understand that you will be charged for a minimum of 20 days, even if the actual days served are less than 20.

4. You must keep the electronic monitoring equipment properly connected at all times. Furthermore, you

must keep the equipment properly charged in accordance with the Provider’s instructions.

5. You must maintain equipment. You shall not tamper with or damage the equipment and you shall report any

equipment malfunction or damage to the provider immediately.

6. You must report as directed. You shall report in person or by telephone, to the Provider, the Sheriff, or the

Court as directed. Documentation to mitigate any violations shall be delivered to the Provider no later than 3:00 p.m.

allowed by these conditions or approved by the Provider. Outdoor activities at your residence, outside of your

residential structure, will not

be allowed.

8. You shall not be arrested for any new offense or for outstanding warrants. By applying for this Program, you

your color is called, you must report no later than 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday and 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. on

Saturday. You must also report when requested by the Provider, Sheriff or Court. You must pay for all drug and/or

alcohol testing. If you fail to appear for testing on your designated day, you will be REVOKED.

All testing is by urine

sample (no exceptions) and collection of the sample is observed by the Provider or Sheriff. Once you appear for

testing, you may not leave the facility until the sample is collected. If you are unable to provide a sample within one

hour of arrival, this will be considered a refusal and you will be REVOKED.

Any positive screen will result in

REVOCATION (even if use was prior to placement on the monitor). Testing from other facilities will not be considered.

Diluted screens will be considered positive. Any confirmations must be requested in writing and paid for in advance.

You must take all prescribed medications, in the bottle, to the provider for proper documentation in your file. Failure to

notify Provider of prescribed medication, with a subsequent positive, will result in REVOCATION.

10. You must comply with Provider Contracts. You are responsible for making certain that you understand all

rules and terms of the electronic monitoring program.

11. You must remain current on all payments. All departments work together to ensure compliance with this

program; therefore, you must remain current on all payments for court costs, attorney’s fees, fines and restitution due

and payable under any order or judgment of the Court in your case, in addition to Program fees.

12. You must submit to SCRAM monitoring. You understand that for all cases originally filed as a DWI 2

more and all DWI with BAC >=.15 cases, you will be required to wear a SCRAM monitor in addition to your GPS electronic

for your successful completion of the Program.
