In a recent court session held via Zoom, Judge Boyd presided over the case of Alexis Rodriguez, who faced charges related to possession of a controlled substance. The meeting, which took place on June 27, 2025, involved discussions about Rodriguez's legal rights and her decision to enter a plea.

Rodriguez, represented by newly appointed attorney Charles Bunk, confirmed her understanding of the charges and the implications of her plea. The court emphasized the importance of her rights, including the right to a grand jury and the right to a jury trial. Rodriguez acknowledged that she was waiving these rights by entering her plea.

The plea agreement proposed by the state included deferred adjudication, which allows for a potential dismissal of charges upon successful completion of certain conditions. These conditions involve a $60 restitution payment, a treatment evaluation, random drug testing, and completion of a drug education course. The state recommended a four-year term of deferred adjudication and 100 hours of community service.

Throughout the proceedings, Judge Boyd ensured that Rodriguez was fully informed and understood each aspect of the plea process. The court found that Rodriguez had knowingly and voluntarily waived her rights and accepted the plea agreement, which will be reviewed further by the court.

This case highlights the judicial system's efforts to balance accountability with rehabilitation, particularly for non-violent drug offenses. The outcome of Rodriguez's plea will depend on her adherence to the stipulated conditions, reflecting a broader trend in Texas towards addressing substance-related issues through treatment rather than incarceration.
