Court sentences Pablo Avendano to 10 months in Bexar County Jail

In a busy afternoon session at the 187th District Court on May 13, 2025, Judge Stephanie Boyd presided over a series of cases, highlighting significant decisions that will impact the lives of those involved.

One of the most notable moments came when Judge Boyd sentenced Pablo Avendano to 10 months in Bexar County Jail for a felony conviction. The judge emphasized the importance of rehabilitation, offering Avendano support for mental health and housing assistance upon his release. "If you need help finding a place to stay or dealing with issues, you can always come back to the court," she assured him, underscoring a commitment to community support.

In a separate case, the state opted to dismiss charges against another defendant, citing a missing witness. Judge Boyd took the opportunity to stress the importance of personal accountability, warning the defendant that without significant changes in behavior, he could find himself back in court. "If you cannot get along with somebody without putting your hands on them in anger, then you need to leave," she stated firmly.

The session also included procedural discussions, with the judge addressing administrative matters and ensuring that all necessary documentation was in order for upcoming cases. As the court moved through its docket, it became clear that Judge Boyd's approach combines legal rigor with a focus on rehabilitation and community support, aiming to foster positive outcomes for those who come before her.

As the afternoon wrapped up, the court prepared to tackle additional cases, with the promise of continued attention to both justice and the well-being of individuals navigating the legal system.
