In Austin you can stalk your ex at work, call her 89 times in one afternoon, force her to drive you around for hours, drag her across a lawn by her hair, beat her up, jump on her windshield until it shatters, and threaten to poison her dog -- all while a doorbell camera records her screaming "no no no" -- and walk out of jail with time served.
You can sell dealing-weight meth and lead police on a high-speed chase on the same day and get probation for both.
You can abscond from probation, get caught fleeing police a second time, and get more probation
You can have a judge deny your first motion to revoke, walk away from court-ordered treatment, and pick up new strangulation charges, while still on probation for the last set of felonies.
