From Jennifer Parish of UrbanJustice.org:
As many of you already know, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit recently ruled in Clark v. Astrue that an outstanding warrant is not sufficient evidence that a Social Security beneficiary is violating probation or parole. Currently the decision affects only the named plaintiffs in Clark, but we hope to have a nationwide class certified. If you represent anyone whose benefits have been suspended because of an outstanding warrant for probation or parole, please be sure to appeal the suspension (in addition to any other advocacy efforts, such as requesting a good cause exception or trying to get the warrant vacated). NSCLC, Urban Justice Center, and Proskauer LLP represent the plaintiffs.

I am so sorry to hear this!! I suggest that you contact the local bar association for a referral to someone that does SSA appeal work. I am not licensed in Texas and know little about the Dallas area… the folks I know are in Austin. Good Luck!
