    If they ask "are you on probation" or "have you got an convictions" or similar, then you'll have to tell them. But if they don't ask, you don't have to tell, and you should not tell.


    If they ask "Why do you want this job":

    Do say "because I want to develop a career in the area of " ... or such-like.
    Don't say "because I'm on probation and the judge said I had to get a job".




    I don't know for sure about texting your probation officer - but my instinct is that yes, you should tell them if there's any change in your circumstances.
