(a) On a showing of good cause, the judge may extend a period of community supervision under Article 42A.752 (a)(2) as frequently as the judge determines is necessary, but the period of community supervision in a first, second, or third degree felony case may not exceed 10 years and, except as otherwise provided by Subsection (b), the period of community supervision in a misdemeanor case may not exceed three years. (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.
