The judge told Savoy she would defer adjudication and place him on probation with a $300 fine and multiple conditions designed to address substance use and stability. \"You're also going to be required at least for some amount of time to wear a drug patch. You have 2 days, 48 hours to get that drug patch put on. Probation can tell you where you can go get those done. You have to get them changed every 2 weeks,\" the judge said. The court ordered the defendant to participate in probation's assessment and to follow recommended treatment whether inpatient or outpatient.

The judge explained why the court imposed active treatment conditions: Savoy had tested positive for marijuana shortly before sentencing, and the judge said that although family circumstances may cause stress, using marijuana while awaiting sentencing suggests the defendant needs help rather than punishment alone. \"If they say you need to go to a 30 day treatment, then you're gonna go or you're gonna be back in here going to prison instead of 30 days,\" the judge told Savoy.

Other conditions noted by the court included a ban on firearm possession and a directive to begin education efforts: the judge instructed Savoy to begin his GED program within about 45 days and said probation would monitor and enforce compliance.

Why this matters: The court combined supervision with mandatory treatment and educational goals rather than immediate incarceration. The conditions create near-term obligations — including a patch that must be applied within 48 hours — that the probation department will monitor. The judge warned that failure to comply could result in revocation and exposure to the original felony sentence.

Ending: The court handed the defendant the trial-court certification documenting the plea agreement and told him probation would call him to complete paperwork and begin supervision. The judge urged Savoy to take the treatment and education requirements seriously to avoid revocation.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Judge Raquel West's Personal Meeting Room","oneSentenceSummary","The 252nd District Court deferred adjudication in Davonte Savoy’s case and placed him on four years of probation with mandated drug testing, a drug-monitoring patch to be applied within 48 hours, possible treatment, and GED-related requirements.","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},6182170,"Judge finds Chad Smith guilty of evading arrest; 10-year term suspended and placed on probation",243,3376000,3619000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5107796-77ab756ab34b1a6fcd3f0b5556c076f5&start=3376&end=3619","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5107796-77ab756ab34b1a6fcd3f0b5556c076f5/thumbnail_3376000.jpg","/articles/6182170/Texas/Judge-finds-Chad-Smith-guilty-of-evading-arrest-10-year-term-suspended-and-placed-on-probation","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6182170-ac6f7b342acc7eea77bcac891c0a974f/orig.mp4?Expires=1773334217&Signature=KxUl41VIJhGvh4UGNOSgb1zvJ4~1fd98Vuqld-W9t4Iuvpg8BXd5z7FINdEOgHg5Dbxeb7WudQaCamnM2uewNRlgskjGybp-LzqWckAIRaCzFq05Nle2sII-K7Ufih4Df1~vDKZ6i4uRMWjrEidOcnc5YgdGLGDHNyF2FO2tCN08rtyQeNodzhqMxzqp8zuaFJ0RKORkHakT3OpfGEnWBNiIV-UsQRdyH7ulg-hldNXjHhnXpG0MAQTlU9WdO4-vK6-0fQ3-Gikdr36G3fJNPLvuYYR~cC4YYcLYK~JjAV44SxB16hKEtYEWBhlbdN60HLuvy0yeyVjNhxkAs7TqHg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Chad Smith pleaded guilty in the 252nd District Court to evading arrest or detention with a vehicle and was sentenced under a plea agreement to a 10-year term that the judge suspended and placed on probation.

The judge said she had received and reviewed the pre-sentence report and related materials and then announced the sentence: \"I'm going to find sufficient evidence to find you guilty and, at this time, find you guilty of evading arrest or detention with the use of a motor vehicle. Sentencing you in accordance with the agreement you made to a term of 10 years in the institutional division of the Texas Department of Corrections, probation.\" The court handed Smith the trial-court certification showing the plea agreement and advised him that he had waived his right to appeal.

The judge also issued a formal admonishment about firearms: \"Because of the judgment entered against you, you're ineligible under Texas law to possess a firearm or ammunition.\" The court provided written admonishment and told Smith to consult his attorney, \"mister Roxas,\" if he had questions about the duration and scope of that ineligibility.

Why this matters: The sentence places a 10-year term over Smith that can be enforced if he violates probation. The judge emphasized recent history of revoked probations on Smith's record, explaining the court's caution in granting another probationary opportunity.

Court action and conditions: The court found the plea and sentence voluntary, suspended the 10-year term on the condition Smith comply with probation for the agreed term, and delivered required admonishments. The transcript records the judge warning that a probation violation could lead to revocation and imposition of the 10-year sentence.

Ending: Smith was ordered to comply with all conditions of probation. The court emphasized the serious consequences of violating probation, including the previously agreed 10-year term in prison if probation is revoked.","Chad Smith pleaded guilty to evading arrest with a vehicle and was sentenced under an agreement to a 10-year term that the court suspended and placed on probation; the judge advised Smith of firearm possession restrictions under Texas law.",{"_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},6182175,"Judge raises bond to $200,000, cites new arrest while defendant on probation",81,3763000,3844000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5107796-77ab756ab34b1a6fcd3f0b5556c076f5&start=3763&end=3844","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5107796-77ab756ab34b1a6fcd3f0b5556c076f5/thumbnail_3763000.jpg","/articles/6182175/Texas/Judge-raises-bond-to-200000-cites-new-arrest-while-defendant-on-probation","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6182175-87d20512d2fb576074dcb846ed28aac9/orig.mp4?Expires=1773334217&Signature=HU-xGAk7zt7C~bxeCM0z7OhWHUwYKhPTbjITWrO8Mn429ZjXNyt2SaedoeRIplsTVJnqHUpG2L5WNax0vkNEYi40u01MsTFZmSmJWVSzeJ6T4JSARC3B29zdcEtlVafcveNXdk~BMLlah2qUl8b1vMUxOSJWN03eXpuG72md7F6d8gxzQCeAlnTj9WIr8y9K5EGj3LMS4M40hWucmUZebvv7VQghe-THgosthdvrjY4nP3UEvkz6~WMOEHPm3KyW3RNMuuw3GTOKtROc7vI7FtTj4DMswkTU1fpcd~wcEJbSiLvIQgCw8d1vic41tByX~22sTzV8zUldKt1hjAxVjA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A judge in the 252nd District Court raised the bond for Jamarcus Zarate Jones to $200,000 during a hearing after the court learned he had been arrested while on probation.

The judge said she had reviewed reports showing Jones had been arrested and that a firearm and marijuana were located in a vehicle where he had been sitting. \"It is appropriate for me to raise that bond. At this time, I'm raising your bond to $200,000,\" the judge said. The judge also ordered Jones to return with a lawyer or to have counsel appointed if he could not afford one.

Why this matters: The court flagged Jones’s recent arrest as a factor that undermined the prior bond and as the basis for a pending motion to revoke probation. The judge told Jones he faces a motion to revoke probation and directed custody staff to take him to the bailiff for transport while the matter proceeds.

The record shows the judge ordered drug testing before further proceedings; earlier the judge said Jones \"only tested positive for amphetamines, and it looks like you have a prescription,\" then reviewed an arrest report covering marijuana and a firearm near where Jones was seated. The judge told Jones, \"You can go back with the bailiff. We'll figure it out. We'll get you a lawyer appointed, and we'll figure it out.\"

Court action and next steps: The judge raised bond to $200,000 and noted a motion to revoke probation was pending. The court stated it would appoint counsel if Jones could not hire one, and Jones was returned to custody pending resolution. The transcript shows no plea or sentencing in this matter during the hearing segment.

Context: The judge emphasized that being arrested while on probation can justify a bond increase and a revocation motion. The court reiterated that defendants who have bonded out must either hire counsel or meet the court’s instruction to consult multiple lawyers before the next setting.

Ending: Jones remains subject to the raised bond and the pending motion to revoke probation; the record shows the court will proceed with the revocation process and provide appointed counsel if needed.","At a hearing in the 252nd District Court, the judge raised Jamarcus Zarate Jones’s bond to $200,000 after learning he had been arrested while on probation and said a motion to revoke probation will move forward.","actionData","errors"]
