Patrick Mahomes Sr. Seeks Approval for 7 Games While Serving 7-Year DWI Probation

Q: Will a recent probation violation stop Patrick Mahomes Sr. from traveling out of state to see his son's NFL return?

Not necessarily. The recent probation violation does not automatically bar Patrick Mahomes Sr. from traveling, but it could weigh on the judge’s decision. Court records show Mahomes Sr. is on probation for a 2024 DWI conviction and that his probation was extended by two years after a February 2026 arrest for allegedly drinking alcohol in violation of his conditions. That history gives the court a reason to scrutinize any travel request closely. At the same time, the motion argues that he is currently in compliance. It says he has completed 16 weeks of outpatient treatment and 160 hours of community service, and that a Smith County supervision officer verified his compliance with current probation terms. The filing also says he is being monitored by an ankle bracelet and is willing to submit to urinalysis testing before and after each trip and notify his supervising officer whenever he leaves Texas. So the key issue is not whether the violation exists, but whether the court believes his current compliance and monitoring are enough to allow limited travel. He has asked permission for seven trips to Chiefs games in Missouri, Nevada and Ohio, and he cannot go unless the Texas court approves it. As of now, there is no public indication that the court has ruled. The violation could complicate his request, but based on the filing, it has not stopped him from seeking permission and does not by itself mean the request will be denied.

Patrick Mahomes Sr. filed a motion Friday in Texas seeking permission to leave the state for seven of his son's games in Kansas City, Las Vegas and Cincinnati this season.
The request says each trip would require urinalysis before and after travel and notice to a supervising officer, conditions tied to his probation restrictions.
Mahomes Sr. pleaded guilty to DWI in 2024 and received five years of probation, which was extended by two years after a February 2026 arrest for drinking alcohol in violation of the terms.
His filing says he has completed 16 weeks of outpatient treatment and 160 hours of community service, is complying with current conditions and is being monitored by an ankle device.
The request comes as the Chiefs prepare to open the season against Denver, with Patrick Mahomes appearing on track to play after December knee surgery.
