In cause number 18-29467, the court took judicial notice of a report from Dr. Cameron dated April 10, 2025, concluding that the defendant — Mr. Fields — remained not competent to stand trial and that inpatient restoration was supported. Judge West ordered that Fields remain at the present facility or a suitable facility for competency restoration \"for a period of not to exceed 1 year,\" and noted that, should the criminal case be dismissed, civil-commitment options might be explored.

Separately, in cause number 25DCCR0226, the court received a report from Dr. Hamza dated April 14, 2025, finding that Raul Gonzales was not competent to stand trial and that inpatient restoration would be supported. The court ordered Gonzales to the appropriate facility for competency restoration for a period not to exceed 120 days from arrival at the facility.

Prosecutors confirmed they had no additional evidence on competency at the hearings. Defense counsel was present in both matters. The orders require treatment in a hospital setting and pause criminal proceedings while restoration is attempted; the judge instructed counsel to review reports and prepare for follow-up hearings after restoration efforts.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Judge Raquel West's Personal Meeting Room","oneSentenceSummary","The court found Fairwayne (or Fairwayne/Fields) Fields and Raul Gonzales incompetent to stand trial and ordered inpatient competency restoration: Fields for up to one year and Gonzales for up to 120 days, based on psychiatric reports filed in court.","taxTitle","252nd District Court, District Court Judges, Judicial, Texas","taxId",66306,"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},6234586,"Judge repeatedly orders ISF inpatient treatment instead of revocation for several probationers",820,5606000,6426000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3411058-a1082141f81253875d79d9e9c7f767c7&start=5606&end=6426","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3411058-a1082141f81253875d79d9e9c7f767c7/thumbnail_5606000.jpg","/articles/6234586/Texas/Judge-repeatedly-orders-ISF-inpatient-treatment-instead-of-revocation-for-several-probationers","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6234586-c572a948ea8bc644eddfeac61c2a7689/orig.mp4?Expires=1770936021&Signature=MHDuD9igl6urt4PX4owl0LBW59Akg1tqL-0AS2hGq9VhrXpxPVwCMvsLJ1WnQDA9y3N6dJ0aYSO~dH3vAg5rMrOc-olYdWUTxptEu9Q8YCvlXODpdHtM5LLQhdcfDVakAwZL7dEO7sU6iIXRlOWU60qalacw1sWjwTWEqIZvZsJ9jp2HbvS~PEyfCejd9d72qHK~73zl0hBelFA1yEsfyXipSZwW2jb11WgePErpnwTLvWx30-I870TyK6TJN-ntuKh0yPC1sCqOeDPiid~SQG-uABCyEJ3pTO1wQfz47tsYAlUeXabjZX7P259daMk3kvtH8Q04Zs75U2y9nSdnzg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","In a series of probation-revocation and sentencing hearings, the 252nd District Court continued several defendants on probation conditional on entry to and successful completion of an inpatient program known as ISF, followed by outpatient JCDI aftercare.

Judge West told multiple defendants that completing the ISF treatment would keep felony convictions off their records, but failure to complete the program would prompt revocation and exposure to the full statutory prison range. \"If you don't make it through ISF ... there won't be another chance, and you're gonna go to prison,\" the judge warned during one hearing.

The court made the ISF option a condition in several matters, ordering defendants to complete either the substance-abuse or cognitive tracks depending on probation recommendations. The judge described ISF as a roughly 90-day program in at least one case and paired it with JCDI aftercare: \"ISF program, which is a 90 day program, then you get out, and then you're on go through JCDI as aftercare,\" the judge said when offering the alternative to incarceration.

Defendants who accepted the ISF condition included Christie Capel and Corwin Thomas; John Mahan and others were likewise continued on probation with ISF requirements and monitoring. Prosecutors and defense counsel discussed program suitability and the availability of beds. In some cases the court emphasized that probation conditions take precedence over family-law visitation orders while the criminal supervision remains in effect.

Where defendants rejected programming or had repeated new offenses while on supervision, the court ordered incarceration. For example, the judge revoked probation and sentenced Marcus Elam to six years in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice after finding multiple new offenses and extended noncompliance.

The orders reflect the court's use of treatment-based alternatives for probationers in lieu of immediate revocation, combined with a clear warning that failing to complete ordered treatment will result in revocation and possible state-prison sentences.","In multiple probation-revocation hearings, the court continued defendants on probation conditional on completion of ISF inpatient treatment and outpatient JCDI aftercare; several defendants were warned that failure to complete programs would lead to revocation and possible prison terms.",{"_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},6234591,"Judge sets $35,000 bond for Ranisha Chaisson, orders drug patch and no contact with minors",438,2786000,3224000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3411058-a1082141f81253875d79d9e9c7f767c7&start=2786&end=3224","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3411058-a1082141f81253875d79d9e9c7f767c7/thumbnail_2786000.jpg","/articles/6234591/Texas/Judge-sets-35000-bond-for-Ranisha-Chaisson-orders-drug-patch-and-no-contact-with-minors","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6234591-9d4c22efd5b6aae4b894f0f16c414d4c/orig.mp4?Expires=1770936021&Signature=Qmy3G71oaVTaZcib4N9Nu~Ij0dz8HCMDsxdY-HCsSP8bgLViIOnnSwWFlFCufYH8X2510b0vSv6227A1vQZsqhr~hCTXO5TtcTXuzwMgiEBwh73S8rLFW00ZdSE-Nlq52MvfNJ0JdtFrkBipDu4lk4P3BKSO85dPv8g6a4x7lwnGoxaJU9aDtL~ev0Jh8L~NsjnFVf6sHMrk2HZPBcEMx4MEu4~ONtS2QPEapl7q-reNInsTkNy7fMlyPWepIn~47cVDUth7Wg1giofHYpYbJn6ayQrmbiRp~GPV-qKYHa6T5v6LNGpBFbUJg7pzrJCaebHgSLdiHqwdcYbGu5agMA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A Jefferson County judge set bond at $35,000 on a motion to revoke probation for Ranisha Chaisson and imposed monitoring and residency conditions aimed at keeping her away from minors and addressing substance use.

The order was announced after the prosecutor and defense counsel discussed the underlying allegations and Chaisson addressed the court. Judge West granted the motion to set bond in cause number 1933107 and ordered the same bond amount in the related case, 24 DCCR 2351.

The court explained the principal conditions tied to release: Chaisson must reside in Jefferson County with her aunt, have no contact with any child under age 18 and must have a transdermal drug patch applied within 24 hours of release and replaced every two weeks. \"If you test positive for anything, you're gonna be right back in jail. If you don't get tested for some reason, I'm gonna assume you're positive,\" the judge said. The court declined to order GPS monitoring, citing the device cost: \"I'm not going to order the GPS at this time just due to the cost,\" the judge said, noting a $3,400-per-month GPS fee discussed in court.

Prosecutors described the facts that prompted the revocation motion as including a new offense and the presence of illegal substances in a home where a small child was present; defense counsel said Chaisson had been in the hospital for surgery and that she intends to live with her aunt if released. The judge also reminded Chaisson that any conditions of bond or probation would take precedence over family-law visitation orders while the criminal matter remains active.

The court reset the cases for announcement and required the defendant to report to her probation officer immediately upon release.

The terms ordered by the court reflect immediate conditions of release and do not resolve the underlying allegations in the criminal file. If Chaisson misses required testing or court dates, the judge warned the bonds in both cases could be raised or she could be returned to custody.","In a probation-revocation hearing, the judge set bond at $35,000 for Ranisha Chaisson and imposed conditions including residence in Jefferson County, no contact with children under 18 and mandatory drug patch testing; GPS monitoring was discussed but not ordered because of cost.","actionData","errors"]
