At a probation status hearing, staff and the court discussed Martinez’s medical and mental-health history, missed appointments and whether he had a case manager. The court learned that Martinez had been removed from felony drug court and returned to a regular caseload because of a physical limitation; probation reported recent efforts to locate services and recommended a referral to the Center for Healthcare Services for diagnostic evaluation.

Judge Stephanie Boyd directed probation to obtain Martinez’s medical records with a signed medical-release form, prepare an affidavit confirming non-driving and non-ownership of a vehicle, and arrange a portable alcohol-monitoring device (portable ignition interlock or equivalent) to be in place no later than June 3. The judge set a follow-up hearing for June 24 for an update on Martinez’s medical evaluation, TAP/Treatment assessment results and whether further drug-treatment measures are needed.

Martinez told the court he has missed appointments in the past and that his sister had been assisting him; the sister participated in the hearing and confirmed she had been helping. Probation agreed to seek referrals and to coordinate mental-health records so the court and probation could better address Martinez’s needs and conditions of supervision.

Judge Boyd instructed Martinez that he must sign releases so probation can obtain medical and mental-health information and that failure to comply could result in further court action. The court also set the portable-device deadline to June 3 and scheduled the follow-up status for June 24.

No formal sentencing occurred at the hearing; the court’s orders were procedural and meant to inform supervision and possible treatment placement.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","TUE., MAY 20, 2025/JUDGE STEPHANIE BOYD/187TH DISTRICT COURT/MORNING DOCKET","oneSentenceSummary","Judge Stephanie Boyd directed probation to refer defendant Richard Trevino Martinez to Center for Healthcare Services, required a medical release and an affidavit of non‑driving, and ordered the defendant to obtain a portable alcohol-monitoring device by June 3, with a return hearing June 24.","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},6235088,"Defendant Alejandro Nuncio Enters No-Contest Plea; Judge Boyd Imposes Six-Month State-Jail Term",281,4164000,4445000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3407444-145e0961ee2220d3852dcc5c4eb59030&start=4164&end=4445","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3407444-145e0961ee2220d3852dcc5c4eb59030/thumbnail_4164000.jpg","/articles/6235088/Texas/Defendant-Alejandro-Nuncio-Enters-No-Contest-Plea-Judge-Boyd-Imposes-Six-Month-State-Jail-Term","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6235088-5facb401bbf16e4ee1a7325b8323e8b1/orig.mp4?Expires=1770515192&Signature=gUf06eqE54nRNgV-5WiT6fZGtbCgeMyu3PTASdpxxv54YLPFoyHCWLhjPejJDzhYnEff7gaIip-OGx-4OynD6mT8qxvSM0J-eplyON17AG94G9OCx6aUNnFQ2wnkZJYCcCj-GOlSw3klxr8PUm3Hr8vqkCEmj4nA6mKvS9FrNW7qRFyQknbTtQ1Z9kyreZyfWA~oc2wNXhO04RKqn-UrPOOm1BvkR728fD0V8ficFqidX5pbj3Woyix0~UhHFqBkSX0XJU9dBf6e0XbMEIjucpj92VkgjzYgL-Effo3GHQ73EComZHatp08YkpKokZffMZfJ82OQQNFGId3zRuQR8w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","SAN ANTONIO — In 187th District Court, Alejandro Nuncio pleaded no contest to a state-jail felony charge of theft (property under $2,500 with prior convictions). The court accepted the plea and imposed the agreed sentence.

During the plea colloquy, the court confirmed that Nuncio understood the range of punishment — 180 days to 2 years in a state jail facility and a fine up to $10,000 — and that he had reviewed and signed the admonishments and plea paperwork with counsel. The plea agreement stipulated punishment of six months in a state-jail facility, a $1,000 fine and no probationary \"applications.\" Nuncio entered a no-contest plea and stipulated to admission of the state's exhibits and attachments; the court received those exhibits without objection.

Judge Stephanie Boyd found the plea knowingly and voluntarily entered, accepted the stipulations and found sufficient evidence to adjudicate guilt. The court sentenced Nuncio to six months in the state-jail facility, gave credit for time served, imposed a $1,000 fine, and requested placement in a therapeutic community addressing substance use. The court also ordered no contact with Walgreens as part of post-judgment restrictions noted on the record.

The court further advised Nuncio that by virtue of a felony conviction he is restricted from owning or possessing weapons or ammunition; because this was a plea-bargain sentence where the defendant waived appeal rights, the court noted the limited right to appeal (only certain written pretrial motions that had been filed, heard and ruled upon).","Alejandro Nuncio pleaded no contest to a state-jail felony for theft; the 187th District Court accepted the plea, sentenced him to six months in the state jail, ordered a $1,000 fine, credit for time served and a request for placement in a therapeutic community.",{"_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},6235093,"Judge Boyd Denies Motion to Dismiss After Defense Says Complainant Is Deceased",937,7227000,8164000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3407444-145e0961ee2220d3852dcc5c4eb59030&start=7227&end=8164","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3407444-145e0961ee2220d3852dcc5c4eb59030/thumbnail_7227000.jpg","/articles/6235093/Texas/Judge-Boyd-Denies-Motion-to-Dismiss-After-Defense-Says-Complainant-Is-Deceased","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6235093-0d85c8efbeb36845d3a3e180f6c110ed/orig.mp4?Expires=1770515192&Signature=MRWvSZdP74w7ONIDcgbBrCapns1FqatfO052KIYlqnj1vyRSLgApoPhdRfGnhlhQv3gxqY8WAKgRPZcMzAuHTdUrRrmZNvwHg8QWUP01t0zMujC068iEZ-2nuJ9UqQlZBuxElB8LVxatCmiJzhNznDmSW7NZ-OS3glKeXva-VlPBXfic32AxYJoxuQyiQuSsfpAqItFHlPKwe~mrA1zR580wWgmFNEwNLAoYlOAo3mtWrTOXNk0HYbGCBLLhI~~vecUnvETPEDnydSqYumFS8rc52Xoy-8CzV7cBk3K5U9auieSWO1FwhDeIJp-9SOqU9VNwRL3Ke6uwX59fYYoeUw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","SAN ANTONIO — Judge Stephanie Boyd of the 187th District Court denied a defense motion to dismiss a criminal case on speedy-trial grounds after defense counsel argued that the complainant’s death made cross-examination impossible.

The ruling came during a contested hearing on a motion filed by the defense seeking dismissal because the complainant is deceased and 15 months had passed since indictment. Defense counsel argued the delay and the complainant’s unavailability deprived the defendant of his confrontation rights. The defense presented witness testimony intended to show the complainant had a motive and that the defense could not meaningfully cross-examine the witness now that the complainant is dead.

The state opposed the motion and urged the court to take judicial notice of the record and prior continuances, including defense requests for delays and other filings that contributed to the elapsed time. The prosecutor argued the state was ready for trial and that the defense had not established the type of prejudice that would require dismissal.

Judge Boyd reviewed the case history on the docket: multiple settings, motions for continuance filed by the defense, calendar conflicts and periods when the court was in jury trials. The judge said that a complainant’s death does not automatically require dismissal and observed that many delays were attributable to defense requests and routine court scheduling. After hearing argument and testimony from a neighbor who described a long-running dispute between the parties, Boyd denied the motion to dismiss.

The court allowed the defense to put evidence on the record but declined to grant the requested dismissal. Judge Boyd instructed counsel to follow courtroom practice on references to the complainant (use of the term \"complainant\" unless otherwise appropriate) and set the case for jury selection at 1:30 p.m. that afternoon.

The judge emphasized the distinction between prejudice that might require dismissal and ordinary delay caused by calendar pressures or motions filed by defense: \"If something were to happen where the complainant were to have a heart attack and die unrelated to this, then all those cases should be dismissed,\" she said rhetorically while explaining why the court would not adopt that rule. The court noted the defense may raise admissibility issues at trial and invited counsel to approach regarding extraneous-offense evidence.

The court denied the motion to dismiss and proceeded with scheduling for jury selection later the same day.","In a contested hearing in the 187th District Court, Judge Stephanie Boyd denied a defense motion to dismiss a misdemeanor assault case brought by Darren Johnson, rejecting the argument that the complainant's death alone required dismissal and setting the case for jury selection later in the day.","actionData","errors"]
