Monreal testified he had no assets, was 18, and had been unable to afford private counsel. The court reviewed family contributions to bond and confirmed Monreal\u000092s inability to pay for privately retained counsel. \"I'm going to, grant the motion. I'll appoint a Chair,\" Judge Boyd said, granting the appointment and directing counsel to confer on discovery schedules.

The judge noted prior appointments in the case (Ms. Suzanne Kramer and Ms. Guerrero) and set a 45-day discovery period with a recall date of July 24 for the next status and discovery compliance. The court also asked the parties to coordinate so that defense has access to discovery materials; the judge instructed staff to place the matter back on the docket for discovery compliance.

The court reiterated that interested family members in the gallery should remain respectful and that discovery preparation is necessary to proceed to trial, if needed.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","MON., JUNE 9, 2025/JUDGE STEPHANIE BOYD/187TH DISTRICT COURT/MORNING DOCKET","oneSentenceSummary","Judge Stephanie Boyd granted a defense request to appoint a court-appointed chair for Roberto Monreal, found the defendant indigent, and reset the case for discovery on July 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},6119887,"Court grants deferred adjudication for Jack Daniel Cross with six-year term, conditions imposed",670,8640000,9310000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3728703-e07a1383d4551ee74361749f4e246d1a&start=8640&end=9310","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3728703-e07a1383d4551ee74361749f4e246d1a/thumbnail_8640000.jpg","/articles/6119887/Texas/Court-grants-deferred-adjudication-for-Jack-Daniel-Cross-with-six-year-term-conditions-imposed","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6119887-52ed4a15d0d92abf0ed05f475aa3a5a0/orig.mp4?Expires=1770870678&Signature=doCPLajUPaN-GBPhfCRfk9btKkyg7Qzup~c7zZSjHLLvdJfMgdGIrrlgKeGQXT5kh187unyiEW98yO62~68k1opAC0OAXWfBb7x3cfhw9rQz8Q-LP6GD3GuxqgO1JHCZ7l~VJQfbdI0UbhiZlKskCnuXAtn9JZ0LgWDPnxUNXYQ7mVYa9C7aGb0GDo3PgSrbj5U9tFB61axDB5okRykUtc4tl3a94SXUwCMu~ML-p79MCNweMFsvAA2Tc4QflEWYJOyqQZImPZgQv0GeVTe-DGS7qSmtfoPvTfObyXJilKkfzCsTRqVGv~1gOyv8I3jnRHTg9bkcErTZ1rKlppzhlQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The 187th District Court accepted Jack Daniel Cross\u000092s plea and followed the parties\u000092 plea agreement, placing Cross on six years of deferred adjudication and setting a suite of supervision and treatment conditions.

Prosecutor Andrew Harrison confirmed the state\u000092s recommendation for deferred adjudication and defense counsel Alfonso Otero said the defendant was amenable. \"The court will sentence you to 6 years deferred adjudication,\" Judge Boyd said after confirming Cross had a place to live and understood the conditions of release.

Conditions included residence with his mother (address to be provided to probation), participation in the court\u000092s mental-health caseload, referral to the Center for Healthcare Services, regular reporting by Zoom or in person, random urine analyses and field visits, and a prohibition on employment involving minors or home health care. The court also required proof of employment or SSI within 40 days.

Boyd stressed medication adherence and follow-up care, telling Cross to inform his doctors about medication side effects and to remain in contact with probation. The court entered the deferred adjudication order consistent with the plea bargain and recorded the supervisory conditions on the record.","Jack Daniel Cross entered a plea and Judge Boyd accepted a deferred-adjudication disposition, imposing a six-year term of supervision with treatment and residence conditions.",{"_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},6119904,"Judge Boyd reduces bond for Clinton Dwayne Dixon to $35,000, orders GPS and treatment referrals",825,3735000,4560000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3728703-e07a1383d4551ee74361749f4e246d1a&start=3735&end=4560","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3728703-e07a1383d4551ee74361749f4e246d1a/thumbnail_3735000.jpg","/articles/6119904/Texas/Judge-Boyd-reduces-bond-for-Clinton-Dwayne-Dixon-to-35000-orders-GPS-and-treatment-referrals","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6119904-1cd276fefde96968a6e2f44a5784a47a/orig.mp4?Expires=1770870678&Signature=eu9MYqA8gHglNDDN1bOL5qTgCtaLtL5ngyo5rwq3yZdVA0Xm9VLXlbN1ZSj6LcwJIfUEDKF6YuZuLT6MIrgDxonC9~bHLNeAWUuxW31vnMjzwzR2PU8TiPDC6l7GhTKqOGbqC5F1Fk0FNXRY4PlYcFf9l3shqcByeVKXpovKVmYPf2IEUBEWhpt34wgctwVMz6bnpzgedHQOBy-AYbQvqzSrNU5yjw~ESzGFbymqpgVLvLSoPf~oTuD4ch5UGgYblFaNcF4EzT~HK6CwXWM3mdp8eW-HkGMowdLxRWzBT7PxMZgTEk06o7jTv8dKyhMfMOkMXq1IwHp6A05yGbpvXA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Judge Stephanie Boyd granted a defense motion to reduce bond for Clinton Dwayne (\"Lenny\") Dixon and set conditions on release, including partial GPS monitoring and referrals to mental-health and substance-abuse treatment.

Defense counsel Robert Featherston proffered Dixon\u000092s indigency and asked the court to lower a $50,000 bond; the state did not object to the proffer. \"We respectfully request a reduction of his bond,\" Featherston told the court. After hearing testimony from the defendant under oath about his housing and medical history, Boyd set bond at $35,000.

Boyd placed additional conditions on the release: a partial GPS requirement for medical appointments, waived Department of Public Safety fees, mandatory referral to the Center for Healthcare Services, regular random urine analyses with waived fees, and intensive outpatient treatment for substance abuse with waived fees. The court also included standard supervision and reporting requirements and instructed probation to provide the defendant a reset form for discovery in his pending matters.

\"The court will set it at $35,000,\" Boyd said on the record. The judge noted the court had taken judicial notice of the defendant\u000092s appointment of counsel and his inability to pay and explained that some proposed conditions were aimed at stabilizing the defendant\u000092s mental-health and substance-use treatment needs while the case moves toward disposition.

The bond-reduction order included behavioral health referrals, monitoring conditions, and waivers of certain fees to reduce barriers to compliance. The court set discovery and follow-up deadlines tied to the defendant\u000092s pending cases.","The 187th District Court granted a defense request to reduce bond for Clinton (Lenny) Dixon, setting conditions including GPS monitoring and referrals to mental-health and substance-abuse services.",{"_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},6119921,"Judge Boyd adjudicates Ruby Casares guilty, sentences her to five years",500,5005000,5505000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3728703-e07a1383d4551ee74361749f4e246d1a&start=5005&end=5505","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3728703-e07a1383d4551ee74361749f4e246d1a/thumbnail_5005000.jpg","/articles/6119921/Texas/Judge-Boyd-adjudicates-Ruby-Casares-guilty-sentences-her-to-five-years","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6119921-b6e3f28816ba87217fcba687019b3fcb/orig.mp4?Expires=1770870678&Signature=RCxc77jZjxbU2w42Qvansc12-0dftXS-lhh9fM9BTQSJnqJCFQkQ9YgtxUR88htYhL5UKgEbgCjV7P9Sv8vfJkAjCoL~MNoX~2n5wQryv7PXtql6oAL8S~dZnPLxTTo51aW~69G~HtaCaONzEL2qPMECUo-DgdgtZRuCarnGyk5mOp~6orfuz5QtFDlWcBI-OUf5Zv~jAdbe6z4vAwQJ-fR9gZOfPqDX3jsLCWVpGctSrx0yLNIrp-i9grt8mVOCJfdhr~yX7hEmPHaQi0TxGaqjRozcLQi5aQeD7aHeYD0f0xGY8ujq09uYLxzjuUnpGgtjVSPok394ew8UKusnLw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Judge Stephanie Boyd adjudicated Ruby Casares guilty and sentenced her to five years in prison after the state moved to revoke her deferred-adjudication agreement during a docket call in the 187th District Court.

The judge accepted a stipulation and the state\u000092s recommended agreement. \"The court will find you guilty, revoke, sentence you to 5 years in the prison, credit for any time served,\" Boyd told Casares in open court. Defense counsel confirmed the agreement and the court entered an affirmative finding of family violence.

The court record shows the state charged a violation of condition number 41 and recommended the five-year sentence as part of a negotiated disposition. Defense counsel told the court the intent was to request credit for time already served; the judge said that credit will be applied to the five-year sentence but that any additional county-jail credit is determined by the jail or the prison system.

After the court pronounced sentence, the judge reiterated limits tied to the plea: because this followed a plea agreement and the defendant waived appeal rights, she would not have the court\u000092s permission to appeal the plea. The judge also reminded Casares of the statutory ban on ownership or possession of firearms following a felony conviction with an affirmative finding of family violence.

The court also recorded a request from the victim\u000092s family to speak; the judge addressed the family and encouraged them to participate through the appropriate legal channels, noting the court\u000092s limited role once a plea and sentence have been entered.

The case was handled on the record under cause number 20207910 and the court instructed the clerk to process the judgment and credit for time served.","In 187th District Court, Judge Stephanie Boyd found Ruby Casares in violation of a deferred-adjudication condition and sentenced her to five years in prison with credit for time served.","actionData","errors"]
