In a recent court session, several defendants faced charges ranging from misdemeanors to felonies, with bail amounts set and legal representation discussed.
Miss Call was charged with a Class B misdemeanor for driving while intoxicated, with bail set at $3,000. Her request for a personal bond was denied due to her existing probation status. She acknowledged several outstanding warrants for traffic violations in Austin, which she admitted she had not addressed. The court recalled these warrants, scheduling her court date for August 29 at 2:30 p.m. She was informed that while she could not receive a court-appointed attorney for these charges, she could hire one if she chose.
Mister Williams appeared on a third-degree felony forgery charge from Williamson County, with bail set at $5,000. He requested a court-appointed attorney, which was noted for further proceedings.
Mister Nichols faced a Class A misdemeanor for unlawful carrying of a weapon, with bail set at $5,000. He opted not to request a court-appointed attorney, and his personal bond was approved, although he was instructed not to possess any firearms during the process.
Mister Waiters was charged with a second-degree felony for sexual assault of a child, with bail set at a significant $75,000. His personal bond was not approved due to state law restrictions, and he was instructed to avoid contact with the alleged victim. He also declined a court-appointed attorney.
The session highlighted the court's adherence to legal protocols regarding bail and representation, particularly in cases involving serious charges and existing legal obligations.
