Key administrative actions included: a May 5 or May 8 discovery/reset schedule for multiple cases (including Matthew Moran, Oscar Jimenez, Mitchell Moore-related scheduling and others); a June 5 \"phantom\" scheduling entry for a defendant found incompetent and awaiting a state hospital bed; and a May 6 reset for Leon Small after U.S. Marshals took the defendant into federal custody.

The court granted a defense motion to withdraw in the Mitchell Moore matter after the client said he had no objection. An appointed counsel will be sought and the case will be placed back on the docket. Several defendants were given permission to appear by Zoom where counsel was unavailable in person; the court repeatedly instructed defendants to confirm discovery and advised attorneys to tender offers on scheduled follow-up dates.

The judge also reiterated routine courtroom rules (recess at noon, interpreter requests, and how counsel should approach the bench when ready) and reminded defendants that discovery deadlines and plea deadlines would be enforced without good cause exceptions. For defendants whose discovery had not been made available, the court imposed 30-day discovery resets and specific return dates in early May.

Notable custody/competency entries included a reminder that some defendants previously found incompetent were awaiting placement and that the court would schedule phantom dates to prevent cases from dropping out of the system. The court also instructed probation and court staff to coordinate evaluations and to inform counsel when dates are set so the court calendar remains current.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","THURS., MARCH 27, 2025/JUDGE STEPHANIE BOYD/187TH DISTRICT COURT/MORNING DOCKET","oneSentenceSummary","At the 187th District Court docket call Judge Stephanie Boyd managed scheduling and discovery resets for multiple defendants, noted custody developments (including a U.S. Marshals pickup), granted a motion-to-withdraw for counsel in one case and set various follow-up dates in May and June.","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":79,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6102315,"Judge allows defendant to reside in Katy with probation-approved chaperone; restricts contact with minor child absent chaperone",0,7407000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2805064-b162984e6ced8f228385c54f6f890848&start=7407&end=7407","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2805064-b162984e6ced8f228385c54f6f890848/thumbnail_7407000.jpg","/articles/6102315/Texas/Judge-allows-defendant-to-reside-in-Katy-with-probation-approved-chaperone-restricts-contact-with-minor-child-absent-chaperone","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6102315-ed02e24584403b718fa2465d549de99c/orig.mp4?Expires=1775892044&Signature=DH5T2STfrvVkO2NofTR8Fw~131yqU4O4xLB~qyWGswAiFE9QNFHZRgcG-e~LKveRMZrzaRpN5ReOfYIRejW3ZO~HgDt0mDkz8edP~CrYopmVP3GWBJwfB0-tODRL85wcHV5SaIuNWgjYyXH37k8YqS5qU~qA1SIiaEgKiEkPuvvdmGIvkioY23tmIXA1fGS8BIWTccYOtyQ27QIQj~WSpahMEqa89-qlg2rr0B8n0GlyJ8BZmol1J8BBHB8JPCtIwOx5HrYXNFm7rxGqHrtHq74bjz3YuZq4MjhOhd8FZRGKPLLHt7vPmOzE6KargANXp7HhRiWT-lTGP8gU~RrWyQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The 187th District Court granted Lameel Hernandez permission to reside at a specified Katy address but imposed limitations on contact with his minor child. Judge Stephanie Boyd signed an order allowing residency at the submitted address while prohibiting contact with minors in the home until probation approves a chaperone.

The court reviewed a supplemental report from probation that included safety measures for the requested residence. Probation will vet any proposed chaperone, provide that person with required classes, and then inform the court if the chaperone is approved. Judge Boyd clarified that an approved chaperone must remain physically present and supervise all interactions — \"they have to be there in sight of you and of the minor child so that they can appropriately chaperone,\" the judge said.

Prosecutors said they had no objection to residency provided conditions were met and probation affirmed the process for chaperone approval. Counsel for Hernandez explained the defendant's ultimate goal is reunification in the home and confirmed the defendant's wife is a proposed chaperone; the court directed probation to begin vetting that person and instructed counsel to provide chaperone information to probation.","The court approved Lameel Hernandez's request to live at a Katy address but limited any contact with his minor child to situations supervised by a probation-approved chaperone; probation must vet and approve the chaperone before contact is permitted.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":79,"_45":90,"_47":91,"_49":81,"_51":92,"_53":93,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":94,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":95,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6102320,"Court finds violation but amends conditions, sends defendant to theft-reduction program rather than revoke probation",593,8000000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2805064-b162984e6ced8f228385c54f6f890848&start=7407&end=8000","/articles/6102320/Texas/Court-finds-violation-but-amends-conditions-sends-defendant-to-theft-reduction-program-rather-than-revoke-probation","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6102320-65e1a4a44b1837c773e2ec3f82fcaf74/orig.mp4?Expires=1775892044&Signature=P11vSoecg~Epr1ySwjJmVVkz1pK-8EjP6LTbzusuGVeSOGlr0KXomMFHXabBluh9Vvos0X5v2m~-N7OgMMBzTtbVVF9s6xRRVYggRLSZJYZLJGvQRDYhElQ0aQ60yC~f-304R3uV105CbSc2aA~yNCPXbrZHLNFqkPjvjBmCOczmubxoXU6uGw8uQ3fBojGfsloShk7lot1s9G5D~IZbuikpnlD52cjHITp3wxwxZiQTRNTZDkA0j7oZ6jkM10Ms-hOYpypjw7BoSgKy1OwuWvzXN-KD5CMTzqP5VvNLuoIvfGYm9UXDjL0pngnx2Ow2H66sNX-xk4UqAZQXm5nYeg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The 187th District Court found a violation of probation true in the matter of Efron Soto but declined to revoke deferred adjudication. Instead the court amended the defendant's supervision conditions to require completion of a theft-level course and enrollment at the Goodwill Ridge Careers Academy within 45 days.

The prosecutor and defense discussed options after the court established the violation was supported by evidence. The parties proposed a rehabilitative disposition: a theft-level 3 course and career training, rather than immediate incarceration. Probation supported the plan as a path to continued employment and reducing recidivism.

Judge Boyd denied the motion to revoke and amended the conditions accordingly, directing probation to schedule the required programs and noting that a new reset date (May 12) was set for follow-up. The court explained that the defendant cannot continue to operate as a contracting business while on probation unless he demonstrates a financial plan and safeguards to prevent unpaid work causing repeated problems.","In State v.

In open court Judge Stephanie Boyd reviewed discovery and a TAP evaluation with counsel and accepted the plea bargain recommending deferred adjudication. The court ordered conditions including 100 hours of community-service restitution, regular reporting by Zoom or in person, random UAs, monthly field visits, and parenting classes. Probation was directed to provide documentation of any proposed restitution in time for the May 5 hearing.

Defense counsel noted the TAP evaluation and the defendant's health and employment status. The court ordered that proof of employment or SSI be provided within 30 days and limited employment with minors or as a home-health care provider while on probation.

The court emphasized the importance of communication with probation and instructed the defendant to return to court if probationary needs were not met. The restitution hearing will determine any monetary obligation owed to the complainant, Christian Ramirez.","Judge Boyd followed a plea agreement in the case of Arturo Villanueva, deferred adjudication for three years, and set a restitution hearing for May 5; the court ordered conditions including 100 hours of community service and regular random UAs.",{"_33":109,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":110,"_41":111,"_43":112,"_45":113,"_47":114,"_49":115,"_51":116,"_53":117,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":118,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":119,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6102331,"Judge Boyd accepts plea, imposes probation and ignition-interlock after third-time DWI conviction",3240,3285000,6525000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2805064-b162984e6ced8f228385c54f6f890848&start=3285&end=6525","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2805064-b162984e6ced8f228385c54f6f890848/thumbnail_3285000.jpg","/articles/6102331/Texas/Judge-Boyd-accepts-plea-imposes-probation-and-ignition-interlock-after-third-time-DWI-conviction","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6102331-629f0e95af1d3249214dfa86a2454eb2/orig.mp4?Expires=1775892044&Signature=PK-oIfCQnle-ZwZ6Ax3M74ylNSIUALxHKqTI4WIs4AoulCVHyBmRBYfRAochxWsBX3YjvSZvnqFQ4qXfuCBuSsYahFrQ~vf2zUFkW7CrT2qOasaPwfzo3zRebB7hXE545fp-eXlnLepk-2hWn8Uni4iSws7vniYdadSmrhRq1~YcNpizsj1G7OtraU3t4diOQp4d-SKWaZnTjGbzaSbbVv92499BeE~NkMyPjdxC~ecz9NQip0ywI60UGAsg6jEfO2irRybZC2d1bc1F4iop1r2HsbVCFO-8KOcNXstKMmH3gRgVAvvemOPLCVFMiycl1g8tRwzoRsIf36Ttddaang__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Alfredo Marrero pleaded guilty to a charge of driving while intoxicated, third or more, in the 187th District Court and was sentenced by Judge Stephanie Boyd to an eight-year probated term and conditions intended to limit future driving under the influence.

The court accepted the plea and found Marrero guilty. Judge Boyd sentenced him to an eight-year term in the institutional range, suspended that sentence and placed him on probation for eight years with a $2,000 fine probated, restitution if any to Sara (Sarah) Rapoport, ignition interlock for the full term, a two-year license suspension and enrollment in DWI education and related programs. Rather than ordering 10 days in the Bexar County Jail, the court ordered 30 days on partial GPS monitoring in lieu of county time.

Defense counsel asked the court to consider alternatives to incarceration, noting Marrero's steady employment and caregiver role for a roommate. \"They really like him and want him to continue to work there,\" defense counsel said, pressing the court for an alternative to immediate jail time. The court responded by imposing probationary supervision and conditions tailored to both public safety and Marrero's employment responsibilities.

Judge Boyd explained the reasoning behind strict conditions on drinking and driving: \"Drinking and driving, and when you're impaired, not good. You could kill somebody.\" She emphasized that the record showed an accident and an angry, impaired state at the time of offense and ordered intensive supervision terms including random UAs and treatment referrals.

The order also restricted Marrero from being employed as a home-health provider while on felony probation and required proof of employment within 30 days. The court allowed probation discretion to approve community-service placements and said probation should forward proposed charity work to the court for approval toward the 200 hours of community-service restitution.

The interpreter, prosecutor and defense each confirmed discovery had been reviewed and the defendant knowingly and voluntarily entered the plea and waived jury trial. The court accepted the stipulated exhibits as evidence and announced the sentence in open court.","In Bexar County 187th District Court, Judge Stephanie Boyd accepted a plea from Alfredo Marrero on a third-or-more DWI charge, found him guilty and sentenced him to an eight-year probated term with fines, ignition interlock and other conditions; the court substituted GPS monitoring in lieu of 10 days in county jail.","actionData","errors"]
