In Texas, many probationers are eligible to request early termination of their probation under certain circumstances:

1. Eligibility: Not all offenses are eligible for early termination. Typically, more serious felonies or specific offenses may have stipulations against early termination. It's important to consult the Texas Penal Code or a legal professional to determine eligibility based on the specific offense.

2. Completion of Half the Probation Term: In many cases, before requesting early termination, the probationer must have successfully completed at least half of the assigned probation term. However, this requirement can vary based on the specifics of the sentence and the discretion of the court.

3. Fulfillment of All Conditions: All conditions of probation, such as fines, community service, classes, and restitution, must usually be satisfied before the court will consider an early termination.

4. Good Behavior: Demonstrating compliance with all probationary terms and avoiding any additional legal infractions or problems can make a probationer a more favorable candidate for early termination.

5. Procedure: A motion for early termination typically needs to be filed by the probationer or their attorney. The court then reviews the motion, often seeking input from the probation officer and the prosecutor. The final decision rests with the judge.

6. Benefits: If early termination is granted, the individual is released from the terms and conditions of probation, and in some cases, might also be eligible to seek an order of nondisclosure or expungement for their record, depending on the circumstances and nature of the offense.
