The item matters because the court will decide whether restitution is owed and, if so, how much — a determination that depends on whether the state can show the bills are tied to the offense.

In court the judge reviewed a set of documents that the state had submitted; the court recited approximate figures on the record: “there was $14,000 total approximately $14,000 Insurance paid approximately 12,000.” The court and defense discussed the remaining balance; the transcript includes a figure the judge stated as $27.90, and counsel later discussed the amount as about $2,700. The defense raised concerns that the single document provided was not itemized or authenticated and asked the state to produce additional records or a witness to link the charges to the alleged offense.

The court directed the state to obtain more authenticated documentation and gave the parties a one-month reset for restitution review; the judge said that if the state filed supplemental documentation earlier the court would consider it before the reset date. The prosecutor requested two weeks to attempt to obtain records and subpoenas if necessary; the court instructed court staff to set the matter for one month and told the state to prioritize obtaining business records or a witness who can authenticate the amounts.

Judge Boyd noted that if documentation established a direct link between the bills and the offense the court could rule on restitution without live witnesses. Defense counsel preserved objections about authentication and the possibility that amounts shown in a single document might relate to multiple incidents.

The court set the follow-up date and instructed the state to attempt to serve subpoenas or otherwise obtain records in the two-week time frame the prosecutor requested.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","WED., MARCH 19, 2025/JUDGE STEPHANIE BOYD/187TH DISTRICT COURT/MORNING DOCKET","oneSentenceSummary","The court set a follow-up for restitution after the state agreed to seek documentation linking medical bills to an alleged offense; preliminary figures discussed in court were approximately $14,000 in total bills with roughly $12,000 covered by insurance and an approximate remaining balance discussed as $2,700.","taxTitle","Judge Stephanie Boyd 187th District, District Court Judges, Judicial, Texas","taxId",66298,"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},6121920,"Judge Boyd Reinstates Bond for Ruben Maldonado After Missed Appearance",430,1423000,1853000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2698289-2d0e26653b7ee41db5810703419a4883&start=1423&end=1853","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2698289-2d0e26653b7ee41db5810703419a4883/thumbnail_1423000.jpg","/articles/6121920/Texas/Judge-Boyd-Reinstates-Bond-for-Ruben-Maldonado-After-Missed-Appearance","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6121920-f45e0da141d7b73a4159e2fd37d66b1b/orig.mp4?Expires=1776193071&Signature=cr0437~27hmQitDmsgLN-c~I4uGDVgk1GiTyP3EoGbIm6S3xWnscHUQTKT4VfF99iDHzorJJopp8ZUQTf-4EwRIABnTvgl8tDBP2q3jKX1GUl8LGCZ7h3p4V4A80IjNRY9Mizk3a187PnntQNfpcIHeWxvUD-40p7ycHNE2jcEDUFgMQ6y~-t1xBAoceYGW5i9hd2G0bpjWPU8TwzTENV2RwlQ43J4AI7CumDQ1IQcxaKvtZk065GdWy3s4vM~IxFVvGg62zEkusQiFm6vhRQ3VyKtEqloHAUWpYePZ5d~yrinmhORCWj7NWXnu2N1pB6z98AE2QRP738wUThHMYig__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Judge Stephanie Boyd recalled a bond forfeiture and reinstated a $7,500 bond for Ruben Maldonado Jr. after the defendant failed to appear for a scheduled court date and later arrived.

The action matters because it returned a defendant to bond status after a missed appearance and set a future plea-deadline date that advances the case toward resolution.

At the hearing, Assistant District Attorney Megan Galloway announced the state’s presence; defense attorney Renee Munoz informed the court that the bond company was willing to continue on the bond and requested that the bond be reinstated to $7,500 and the warrant recalled. Munoz said her client understood the court’s communication expectation and that the bond company remained willing to cover the bond.

Judge Boyd granted the request to recall the warrant and reinstate the $7,500 bond. The court set a plea-deadline reset for April 15 and advised Maldonado of the importance of communicating scheduling conflicts to counsel and the court. The judge told counsel the clerk would enter a reset form and noted the state had no objection to recalling the warrant.

The court instructed that Maldonado would be released from custody by jail staff (timing beyond the court’s control) and warned that future failures to notify the court of conflicts could result in different treatment.","The court recalled a bond forfeiture and reinstated a $7,500 bond for Ruben Maldonado Jr. after he missed a scheduled appearance; the court set a plea-deadline reset for April 15.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6121925,"Court Dismisses McKinney Case After Key Witness Fails to Appear; State Will Not Refile",190,2016000,2206000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2698289-2d0e26653b7ee41db5810703419a4883&start=2016&end=2206","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2698289-2d0e26653b7ee41db5810703419a4883/thumbnail_2016000.jpg","/articles/6121925/Texas/Court-Dismisses-McKinney-Case-After-Key-Witness-Fails-to-Appear-State-Will-Not-Refile","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6121925-2a8ff84f0c88070eae837099bcbf04d0/orig.mp4?Expires=1776193071&Signature=NB9~jS8YLm12g~9NXRYQ5nCEanLhzVFxvSBDL0cakO6V9yI6cxz-v9rliB1q8gNUJtx7asRa~qKjHRctnhTSmuTr3NO2vQgaMNOqiWiuVQzLZ4WrxHVr6Gle0yuzfcpXY9hQ4wPmO0uWWgMSNSL9NxUCkSeFZ6ASJKkN7luFiVbTzxGMh4-h2NAetO6ZVBtj2FUUi~KwoITCyBCeF0hoZOjm-C1Ju7uOJKxhlRS4OctmVhx6bZVKqJj-QwyUpgA19QAciVLLsUeCCzSBpq3jhA-jBjceJoXj4YR-7Kgk41Lu7vctJ-CZ~PqgMlfajsjxOA5N15vHq4u3K6MgUSRW5Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Judge Stephanie Boyd signed a dismissal in the case against Raymond McKinney after the state's principal witness did not appear in court as scheduled.

The dismissal is consequential because it ended the day's jury trial schedule and the state told the court it did not intend to refile the case.

The court had called jurors and prepared for trial when the state informed the court that Officer Romero Ramos, a witness the state planned to call, had attended another event that morning and experienced a medical episode. The defense argued the officer’s absence warranted denial of a continuance and sought dismissal. Defense counsel asked the court to grant a mistrial and to dismiss the case.

Judge Boyd confirmed the jurors had been called and stated she would swear them in; after further argument and a short break for the defense counsel to present a written motion to dismiss, the court asked whether the state intended to refile. The state answered no, and Judge Boyd signed the dismissal.

The court discussed whether jurors should be informed about the officer’s absence; Judge Boyd said she would speak to jurors and allowed counsel to address them if they wished. The dismissal was entered and the court moved on to other docket items.

The record reflects the absence of the witness, the defense's request to dismiss, and the court's order signing the dismissal. The state represented on the record that it did not intend to refile.","Judge Stephanie Boyd signed a dismissal for the case against Raymond McKinney after the state's key witness did not appear for trial; the court swore jurors and then dismissed the case at the state's request not to refile.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6121929,"Judge Boyd Grants Deferred Adjudication for Woman Who Entered No-Contest Plea in Family-Violence Case",1184,8250000,9434000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2698289-2d0e26653b7ee41db5810703419a4883&start=8250&end=9434","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2698289-2d0e26653b7ee41db5810703419a4883/thumbnail_8250000.jpg","/articles/6121929/Texas/Judge-Boyd-Grants-Deferred-Adjudication-for-Woman-Who-Entered-No-Contest-Plea-in-Family-Violence-Case","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6121929-be2acdbb8450e03347ecff9dba16b463/orig.mp4?Expires=1776193071&Signature=afyhoAc~fkpQBxwXC2rBPacCgJEGVkp6rzjyo8FPW~gOz~quKHcAIRcx5Ve1bJ2wkZ-2X-3Dy0CFQGdmF796zdFYEtkksu6rDdhIWDtacw4CZaiFOGkjg~j1mPHDYDTtImt9ujGlgt5421~AdcnqT9jfbP~sTBHPllhIbl5Z5F1XA0LNMsgMXBr8HaiSxLRQGf2aCxonToZeYLkpi~I8XvuGDLL13HG-OATHLphEVaekjzz9Wqy-xfA0PK6xixODtzJLbBNhvMc8Hz9SVDXXLOpGgsXF7hFdNWU16WYqo-4DaZQ2N3aubsLfAK4lP0X4sbg162S7IIfsQPTdDFAwOQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Judge Stephanie Boyd, presiding judge of the 187th District Court, accepted a no-contest plea from Patricia Adams and deferred a finding of guilt in a family-violence case at a hearing in court.

The plea and sentence matter because the court entered an affirmative family-violence finding and imposed conditions that restrict Adams’ employment and contact with family members while placing her on deferred adjudication.

Adams, 25, entered a no-contest plea to a third-degree felony charge of assault-family/household member with a prior family-violence conviction. Defense attorney Michael De Leon confirmed Adams reviewed discovery and the court found the state in compliance.

After accepting the plea, Judge Boyd imposed four years of deferred adjudication, probated the $1,500 fine and ordered conditions that include no contact with the named victims, no unsupervised contact with minors, proof of employment within 45 days of release, and a ban on working as a home-health caregiver or in the health-care field. The court also ordered 150 hours of community service restitution, parenting classes (50 hours to be satisfied upon completion), and a hostility-management/aggression-control program known in court as HMAC; the TAP evaluation was ordered to be completed in custody with follow-through on recommendations. The court said that completing a trade school would reduce the community-service requirement by 100 hours.

Judge Boyd said she would not permit Adams to work as a home-health provider while on supervision, describing concern about supervision and safety given Adams’ prior record. The judge told Adams directly, “You shouldn't be hitting on your parents. You shouldn't be hitting on anyone.”

The court explained the consequences of an affirmative family-violence finding, including loss of the ability to possess weapons and potential limits on custodial presumptions. Probation will monitor compliance through monthly field visits, regular reporting by Zoom or in person, and random urine analyses. The court directed probation to oversee the listed programming and to return the case to court if further action is needed.

Adams waived her right to a jury trial and to appeal except on limited, prefiled motions. The court accepted State's Exhibit 1 (police report and attachments) into evidence and deferred the final finding of guilt while imposing the terms above.

The court closed the matter after confirming the conditions and advising Adams of the practical and legal limits of the sentence as ordered.","Judge Stephanie Boyd deferred adjudication and imposed probation-like conditions after Patricia Adams pleaded no contest to a family-violence felony; the court ordered restrictions on contact, employment limits and treatment requirements.","actionData","errors"]
