In a recent court session, the case of State of Texas versus April N. Perez was addressed, with the defendant appearing before the court to request new legal representation. April N. Perez confirmed she had not previously communicated with her appointed attorney and expressed her desire for Orlando Castellon to represent her moving forward.
Judge proceedings included a 30-day reset to allow Mr. Castellon time for discovery, with the option for an earlier court date if necessary. Mr. Castellon indicated he would file a motion to set bond for Ms. Perez, who has been remanded without bond. The court scheduled a follow-up appearance for October 28, ensuring Ms. Perez would return for further proceedings.
Additionally, the session included discussions regarding another case involving Marco Paulinas, who is facing a third DWI charge. The judge noted that this case would involve a plea of truth and an explanation, with no brief recommendation provided at this time.
The court's structured approach reflects ongoing efforts to manage cases efficiently while ensuring defendants receive appropriate legal representation.
