He continues to think he has done nothing wrong. I guess you can call this "baseball" justice. He has been given "two strikes" and the next violation of punishment will be "strike three"; "you're out!". Then, just maybe then, he'll finally receive some jail time?
But only in Texas would they comment on the type of truck he was driving.

Army veteran Brian Culp, who two years ago was exposed as a fake highly decorated Ranger, was ordered Tuesday to spend four months in a halfway house for violating his probation.
Culp, 39, was serving three years of probation for his phony claims when federal probation officers accused him early this month of failing to follow court orders that he participate in mental health treatment and anger management, pay a $500 fine and not open new lines of credit without permission.
On Tuesday, U.S. Magistrate Judge John Primomo heard how Culp ran afoul.
“I had a difficult time with this the first time,” Primomo said, referring to Culp's sentencing. “You put me in a bad position again.”
Culp pleaded guilty in December 2008 to three misdemeanor charges of falsely claiming a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star with valor and creating a fake identification card that allowed him access to area military bases.
He'd also falsely claimed he was wounded while part of the 1993 Army Ranger rescue mission made famous by the book and movie “Black Hawk Down.”
Prosecutors opted not to file felony charges that he created discharge papers that allowed him to obtain Purple Heart license plates and claim veterans benefits. Prosecutors wanted Culp jailed for six months, but Primomo gave him probation.
At Tuesday's hearing, Primomo found that Culp didn't pay the fine promptly, failed to participate in mental health treatment and borrowed money without permission to buy furniture for his fiancee's children.
Culp, who lives with his fiancee in New Braunfels, testified he has since abided by the conditions. He also said he's had issues at home because his father died in August and his fiancee had a mild heart attack last week.
Probation officer Rachel Ventura testified that Culp was abrasive. He always had this aggressive attitude as to why he's reporting,” she said.
The judge admonished Culp for being disrespectful and acting as if he thinks he did nothing wrong. He ordered Culp to live in a halfway house, which will report his progress to probation officers.
“If you step over the line at the halfway house, if you don't scrub the floor or sweep or do what they tell you to, the next time, it's not going to matter what you say to me, you're going to jail,” Primomo told Culp.
When Culp left the courthouse, he ran to try to elude reporters and drove away in a newer-model Ford F250.
