Tyler, Texas – Patrick Mahomes Sr., who is currently on five‑year probation after pleading guilty to driving while intoxicated, filed a motion Friday in the 7th District Court seeking permission to travel out of state to watch his son, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, play this season.
Motion details and conditions
The motion requests that the court allow Mahomes Sr. to leave Texas for seven games: three in Kansas City, Missouri, two in Las Vegas, Nevada, and two in Cincinnati, Ohio. To satisfy the court, Mahomes Sr. agreed to submit to urinalysis testing both before and after each trip and to notify his supervising officer each time he departs the state.
Probation background
Mahomes Sr. was arrested in February 2026 for violating his probation after consuming alcohol, a violation that extended his probation by an additional two years. He originally entered the five‑year term in 2024 following a guilty plea to driving while intoxicated. The court records show he has completed 16 weeks of outpatient treatment, performed 160 hours of community service, and remains monitored by an ankle‑monitor, all of which can be verified by a Smith County community supervision officer.
Chiefs’ season outlook
The Kansas City Chiefs open the 2026 NFL season on Monday Night Football against the Denver Broncos. While the starting quarterback has not been officially confirmed, all indications point to Patrick Mahomes taking the field. The two‑time MVP underwent knee surgery in December to repair torn ligaments but has been active in training camp and participated in team practices. He missed preseason games but coach Andy Reid said, “He’s going to keep practicing just like he’s been doing. These are more like practice here, a lot of one‑versus‑one play these next couple of days. That’s a good thing.”
Community response
Local observers note the human element of a father wanting to support his son while honoring the conditions of his probation. The motion underscores the balance courts must strike between public safety and family unity, especially when the family is a high‑profile sports figure whose schedule spans multiple states.
Next steps
The court will review the motion and determine whether Mahomes Sr. can be granted the requested travel permissions. If approved, he will be required to adhere strictly to the testing and reporting requirements outlined in his probation agreement.
