Patrick Mahomes Sr. files motion to travel out of state for NFL games.

Patrick Mahomes Sr. filed a motion in Texas court to travel out of state and watch seven Kansas City Chiefs games featuring his son, the NFL star quarterback Fox 34. The request comes as Mahomes Sr. remains on probation following a 2024 guilty plea to felony drunk driving. He faces strict conditions: random drug tests before and after each trip, and any violation could send him to prison for up to 10 years.
Mahomes Sr. already completed 160 hours of community service and a 16-week treatment program at a rehabilitation center. His probation was extended to seven years total after he violated conditions on New Year's Day 2026, when an ankle monitor detected alcohol Fox 34. He was released in March after serving 30 days in jail.
Mahomes Sr., a former Major League Baseball pitcher, pleaded guilty in August 2024 to driving drunk for the third time. A judge in Tyler, Texas sentenced him to five years probation, with ten days in jail Fox 34. Texas law treats third DWI offenses as serious felonies. Prison time could reach ten years if he violates probation.
On January 1, 2026, Mahomes Sr.'s ankle monitor registered alcohol in his system on New Year's Day Fox 34. He was arrested and jailed for breaking probation rules. In March, a prosecutor dropped a revocation request. Instead, the court extended his probation by two extra years, bringing his total to seven years.
Mahomes Sr. wants to attend Chiefs games in Kansas City, Las Vegas, and Cincinnati Fox 34. His motion specifically names seven games. If approved, he must submit to urinalysis tests before leaving and immediately after returning from each trip. Any positive result triggers immediate probation revocation and potential prison time.
Courts have already granted Mahomes Sr. limited travel in the past. He attended a preseason game in Arizona in August 2025 and a trip to Missouri in June 2026 for his granddaughter's dance recital Fox 34. Last summer, he asked a judge to remove his ankle monitor due to severe swelling and skin damage, though details of that request remain unclear.
