Court sets bond for Sherry Cooper on drug case and evaluates prior warrant

The morning docket of the 187th District Court on March 17, 2025, presided over by Judge Stephanie Boyd, focused on several key cases, including bond hearings and updates on evaluations.

One significant case involved Sherry Cooper, who was seeking a bond set for a new charge related to a product case. The court discussed the necessity of establishing a bond amount to facilitate her access to legal representation. After deliberation, Judge Boyd set the bond at $5,000, with GPS monitoring waived. This decision came after Cooper's previous bond was affected by a new warrant, which led to her being remanded without bond.

Additionally, the court addressed another bond issue concerning Cooper's earlier case, where the bond was reset to $20,000, also with GPS monitoring waived. The court scheduled a reset date for both matters in 14 days, on March 31, 2025.

In another matter, the court received an update on evaluations related to a separate case. The report from Dr. Jimis was discussed, and a follow-up meeting was requested for March 25, 2025, to explore possible avenues based on the findings.

Overall, the proceedings highlighted the court's efforts to manage bond settings and ensure that defendants have access to legal counsel while addressing ongoing evaluations in other cases.
