Defense attorney Capitillo told the court that two trips had been planned before the defendant’s arrest: an April trip to Cabo San Lucas to visit the site where the family’s daughter’s ashes were spread, and a July trip to mark a 20th wedding anniversary with travel to Rome and Athens. Capitillo said the trips were significant and costly and asked the court to allow both.

The judge, citing scheduling and the court’s interest in ensuring the case proceeds, limited the Cabo travel to three days — permitting travel on April 17, 18 and 19 — and denied the July anniversary trip at this time. The judge invited defense counsel to reapproach on the second travel date later and said the court would consider setting an earlier trial date when the parties could appear to sign a new docket controller.

Capitillo said the family planned the April travel around Easter and the children’s schooling. The prosecutor told the court the state would defer to the court’s discretion but asked that any travel allowed be accompanied by testing before and after and that the defendant provide his itinerary to pretrial supervision.

The court directed counsel to appear Friday morning to sign a new docket controller; the judge said a new trial date would be set at that in-person meeting. The case’s current trial date was listed as November on the docket.

No change to bond conditions was announced at the hearing.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Christopher Morales","oneSentenceSummary","Fort Bend County Court at Law No. 1 allowed defendant Michael Glenn Wollman to travel to Cabo for three days in mid-April to visit the site of his daughter's ashes but denied a proposed July anniversary trip; the court set an in-person docket-controller signing to assign an earlier trial date.","taxTitle","Fort Bend County Court at Law No. 1, Texas Courts, Judicial, Texas","taxId",66315,"location","Texas","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6307507,"Judge permits Osvaldo Hernandez Elias to take March business trip to Mexico with testing condition",535,124671,660160,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2432781-b781c3298c1475a40dfcfda3ece07dbb&start=124&end=660","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2432781-b781c3298c1475a40dfcfda3ece07dbb/thumbnail_124671.jpg","/articles/6307507/Texas/Judge-permits-Osvaldo-Hernandez-Elias-to-take-March-business-trip-to-Mexico-with-testing-condition","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6307507-cae0144136e45fe2d5b3ff443e23f4fd/orig.mp4?Expires=1771212117&Signature=Lq5q6dPrzrKH64sC~YIGm2WB6HJB6ej2rm5X8dFMwdXHenF8iYXFhJxbcwL6qFrN4U4oAVSHt2fX021WVJDzuK3Jbo1DbvFnx4Qms0emYx78Qx7WCGqczgHCyCRrxXlGMuiU6OWAqa-9q~9HUboaGbNJiTI-bAurhyd8qZKiPApXGBP-iD9YOgf3JXbrDhjVpJ4QjxWeg4AWJZfhqA4EapdyJNv5l1TmpoCJeNnYROSOK5kRh1pEzQkwqJ8S50ql-8pYvYTJHwcJY60dLo98bQoCdx-pQf2fEGXLWNgFUW~U~MNv9PTvO1NYY4GLdxaqXTAJO5eKtt0muQN0F2NYOg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A judge in Fort Bend County Court at Law No. 1 on the record allowed defendant Osvaldo Hernandez Elias to travel to Mexico from March 3 through March 7 for work-related training, with the requirement that he complete a substance test within 24 hours of his return.

Defense attorney Krumholtz told the court that Hernandez Elias, 53, has complied with bond conditions, has installed an ignition interlock on his vehicle and has no prior criminal history, and described his employment and frequent international travel. Interpreter Pamela Pizzuro was sworn and assisted with translation during the hearing.

Krumholtz said Hernandez Elias is a naturalized U.S. citizen who was admitted previously on an L-1 visa and “has 2 master’s degrees, 1 in environmental engineering, 1 in quality control,” and that his employer, the Derek Corporation, requires periodic travel to Mexico for training and consulting. The defense asked for permission for the March 3–7 trip and said Hernandez Elias had a UA (urine analysis) scheduled before departure and another on March 10.

The prosecutor told the court that the state had no record of bond violations and deferred to the court’s discretion, asking that Hernandez Elias be tested both before and after travel and that he provide his itinerary to his pretrial officer. The judge said the pre-departure UA already scheduled was acceptable but modified the travel order to require a UA within 24 hours of the defendant’s return.

The judge noted that, because the trip is business-related and required by the defendant’s employer, travel of three to four days is ordinarily allowed and reminded counsel that future international travel requests should, when possible, be limited to three or four days.

The defendant was excused from court after the order was entered. No further changes to bond conditions were announced at the hearing.","Fort Bend County Court at Law No. 1 allowed defendant Osvaldo Hernandez Elias to travel to Mexico March 3–7 for work, subject to existing bond conditions and a drug/alcohol test within 24 hours after his return.","actionData","errors"]
