1 Community Service The law dealing with Community Service has changed over the years. While the requirement that a probationer could be ordered to perform Community Service as a condition of supervision had been previously inferred, it was not until the 1980's that statutory language was created to expressly authorize a judge to impose this particular condition. See Fogle v. State, 667 S. W. 2d 296 (Tex. App. - Dallas, 1984) Initially, Community Service was mentioned in Article , Section 11 as one of the reasonable conditions of Community supervision that a court could impose on a probationer. Section 11 (a) (10) provided that: Terms and conditions of Probation may include, but shall not be limited to, the conditions that the probationer shall: (10) Participate, for a time specified by the court in any Community -based program, including a Community - Service work program designated by the court.
