Generally speaking, you can transfer probation from one state to another state with curt approval. That usually entails that you do your best to set up a connection with the "new" state by securing a program that follows the guidelines of your probation in the "old" state. In other words, if you are required to attend some type of class as part of your probation you have to show that this class is available in the new state and that you can enroll in it. You have to make contact with the probation department in the new state. You have to secure a job and a pace to live. In your case, you would have to secure registry on their sex offender registry. But again, it is up to the discretion of the court.
