Ashbaugh testified he had been drinking and that intoxication affected his memory of the night. He said he initially told detectives a version of events that omitted admission of firing; later, after consulting counsel and reviewing evidence, he told the court he had fired the weapon. On cross-examination, prosecutors played excerpts of text messages and asked the defendant about a message that read \"shoot out tonight,\" sent at about 01:34 a.m., which Ashbaugh acknowledged sending in the course of an argument with a person identified in the texts as Tatiana.

The state introduced multiple pieces of evidence on the record during testimony: comparative text logs (exhibits offered and admitted), surveillance video showing headlights and vehicle movements in the parking area where the shooting occurred, and demonstrative material illustrating how astigmatism can affect nighttime vision. The defense elicited testimony that Ashbaugh’s vision is impaired at night and that his glasses were often taped or in poor repair. Ashbaugh testified that his phone, wallet, and peripheral vision were compromised at times that night and that he had been \"very intoxicated,\" though he also said his recollection had improved after reviewing video evidence with counsel.

Prosecutors questioned Ashbaugh about his motives; the defendant said he wanted to discharge his firearm (he said he had expressed a desire to go to a range previously) and that he thought he would aim into the ground or an open field. Prosecutors emphasized the risk of ricochet and the presence of nearby structures and a playground adjacent to the field; Ashbaugh acknowledged that bullets can ricochet and that he could not guarantee where a fired round would go. Officers’ testimony not excerpted here described observing a muzzle flash near a patrol vehicle and locating shell casings in and around the scene; the defense disputed some perceptions, pointing to Ashbaugh’s stated intoxication and limited nighttime vision.

On re-examination, Ashbaugh said he realized he might be a suspect after family members and detectives began contacting him the next morning and after viewing news reports. He acknowledged sending later texts saying, \"I'm going to jail,\" and other messages summarizing events, and he testified that he feared losing his job and the ability to provide for his family if detained. The trial record shows the state tendered multiple exhibits (text logs, surveillance stills and video, and vision-demonstration images) admitted into evidence during testimony; the record excerpt ends while the cross-examination and evidentiary presentations remain ongoing.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","WED., JULY 16, 2025/JUDGE STEPHANIE BOYD/187TH DISTRICT COURT/MORN DOCK & JURY STATE VS ASHBAUGH","oneSentenceSummary","On the stand in a shooting trial, defendant Tyler Ashbaugh acknowledged firing his handgun on the night in question, said he did not see police vehicles or officers at the scene, and testified his memory was impaired by heavy intoxication; prosecutors introduced text messages and video evidence linked to the incident.","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},6168931,"Judge revokes probation, sentences Victoria Sanchez to three years after condition violation",325,3673000,3998000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5406219-ebb58bcc3d9b14fa272b531b799ec4b1&start=3673&end=3998","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5406219-ebb58bcc3d9b14fa272b531b799ec4b1/thumbnail_3673000.jpg","/articles/6168931/Texas/Judge-revokes-probation-sentences-Victoria-Sanchez-to-three-years-after-condition-violation","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6168931-fac496ccae9bec664764de4113aba8c4/orig.mp4?Expires=1770633286&Signature=BcmwvPWld7eoq1u8B1fu78pz4GqZIMts9T85EPjyLQMLFyH~LWibHqhUo-J6km~zSwfyDojPJYFGJZPSdFipMz5lyDO22TPfEIey-y8xmHT1QRMO9TL9VhqJ4MqFc8PrQV6mEGbsSMnIZr7QGZ~j9DtCZ9GQBAQURtLKjLWYR6z0ZlWkQ3ZEC5GMkmKYYbzd-EysXwcar5Wz6Prk7CiIlN6iskMGBObgoLpsrsqTEwNf-npBmFQSrJDvD7Dj1va4D-8Wk5VaARfS29rvHWPt7vzoqKWI~~AgLv12w7O1aF--BOElXGWlcWzpnBXGNkbvaXZWYhIulZk93tSNqumLlw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A Bexar County judge revoked the deferred adjudication of Victoria Marie Sanchez after finding she violated condition 28 of her supervision and sentenced her to three years in prison.

The state alleged Sanchez failed to comply with the rules, regulations or instructions of the Bexar County Community Supervision and Corrections Department’s substance-abuse treatment plan and that she was unsuccessfully discharged for refusing to participate. Sanchez pleaded true to the single alleged violation. The state asked the court to revoke community supervision and sentence Sanchez to two years in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice; the defense asked the court to impose a term of 180 days in state jail, time served, and then judgment satisfied.

After reviewing Sanchez’s case history — including multiple prior motions to revoke and earlier efforts at outpatient and intensive outpatient referrals — the judge declined the defense’s recommendation and stated the record showed repeated noncompliance. The judge said the defendant had not completed the court-ordered steps to stabilize custody and family circumstances. The court found violation number 28 true, revoked Sanchez’s deferred adjudication, and sentenced her to three years in prison, with credit for time served. The court also requested therapeutic-community consideration and noted the defendant would receive credit for successful inpatient treatment if applicable.

The judge reminded Sanchez that because this was a felony conviction she would be barred from possessing weapons and that she retained limited appellate rights related to matters raised in the motion. The court directed defense counsel and probation to coordinate placement in therapeutic programs if appropriate once the sentence was being processed.","A Bexar County judge found Victoria Sanchez violated probation condition 28, revoked her deferred adjudication, and sentenced her to three years in prison with credit for time served; the court recommended therapeutic community placement if available.",{"_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},6168936,"Charles Smith pleads guilty to attempted fraudulent use; court orders restitution and schedules payment",292,3224000,3516000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5406219-ebb58bcc3d9b14fa272b531b799ec4b1&start=3224&end=3516","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5406219-ebb58bcc3d9b14fa272b531b799ec4b1/thumbnail_3224000.jpg","/articles/6168936/Texas/Charles-Smith-pleads-guilty-to-attempted-fraudulent-use-court-orders-restitution-and-schedules-payment","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6168936-6b635fc994f552cbb5c772d2f1c90057/orig.mp4?Expires=1770633286&Signature=O8YPwe~S4QdYTLR9FF0x7CWaREOoqIV9WBdO1h00BYqVyQbpoKDDsyBLP-PQSR2K3SaRbPOL8H72V8pcTEGZ~y8D3W8-eb-tehfW8GSPlWPwevUr6RI7xy5C2g6B7e~6K824SDnyxF7BchsMHvisH59Sv6TZ965NDcMS5kzSI5OTYyeWC-vKSMULboFFGV7O8Yc-JLhF96~2pQKUADQ-Q~my~im2OtlIyIyd3nbdKMTSk2GY4RXuHr0ujc6dh1bDsPmx5h7jG3xY8HwojdZEBsf9s333E4E7dgAo6ctOPqIqxzvrR6Y-JRgnYo2xo8Iy1CBRxuy37hZJDHrXZH53~A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Charles Smith entered a guilty plea to the lesser-included offense of attempted fraudulent use or possession of identifying information, a Class A misdemeanor, and the court accepted the plea and found the defendant guilty.

At arraignment and plea proceedings, the state and defense advised the court of a plea agreement recommending community supervision and restitution. The court accepted stipulated exhibits and found there was sufficient evidence to find Smith guilty. The plea paperwork sets the recommended punishment at 365 days in the Bexar County Jail with the state recommending community supervision; the paperwork also called for restitution of $1,940 to Saint Peter and Paul and no contact with that victim.

The court discussed the restitution and asked Mr. Smith about his ability to make payments. Smith told the court he could not make an immediate payment but said he could make a realistic payment within six months to a year. The court set a near-term compliance step: Smith was ordered to bring a payment of $800 and the case was reset for July 28 for further review. The court agreed to recall a warrant so Smith could obtain funds and be released to make the payment, with the prosecutor saying the state did not object to recalling the warrant to allow payment.

Probation and counsel agreed that any payment should be a cashier's check or money order and that the payment would be handled through the appropriate agency; counsel agreed to coordinate with the prosecutor before the next court date. The court ordered the $800 payment due by the July 28 reset and explained that the court will recall the warrant and that payment arrangements will be handled through the clerk and probation.","Charles Smith pleaded guilty to a lesser-included offense of attempted fraudulent use of identifying information, the court accepted the plea and the record shows restitution and a payment schedule with a recall of warrant to allow the defendant to pay.",{"_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},6168941,"Probation officer: Sylvia Noriega’s case to be modified; court to sign fee modification and consider termination after payment",381,2488000,2869000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5406219-ebb58bcc3d9b14fa272b531b799ec4b1&start=2488&end=2869","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5406219-ebb58bcc3d9b14fa272b531b799ec4b1/thumbnail_2488000.jpg","/articles/6168941/Texas/Probation-officer-Sylvia-Noriegas-case-to-be-modified-court-to-sign-fee-modification-and-consider-termination-after-payment","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6168941-d466ed5491f8f81b609325f83e9fe560/orig.mp4?Expires=1770633286&Signature=DxNldTvYDKM05LflPNJZGcOHyUAqicKbRr~HKKkWKhBCRJsElpLjw4zqzoUF7s510CXQ7Gue0e9EfQFM~9qhgwn9M3OYk7yP55hpAr~fjxBgVp5gqkVAlcyLI2PgDEzxD7OnLN0UCB17K2rPT2E6fX87bLN8VQEd8-QnnUAYLJgQf7Wd3vPozIhHstQkUxMwZGxHa8UT5YYcQtsnoo7mld4zRXT3C4T1spMHwhZVvqcO63MzeViNbn0-gbkgATtgIAem3vR890b9o8FpoqxI7W30alQD0gWJCJKDvrkOOK6XRfs~YBaoRQtgU~WcnUirrFkLfa6tRcZwxqLRFvoTpw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Probation staff told a Bexar County court that Sylvia Noriega is linked to a family bankruptcy through her elderly father and that her outstanding court-ordered obligations will be addressed by a modification of fees the judge agreed to sign.

Probation told the court the combined assessed fees on Noriega’s file totaled $8,879.75, of which $5,448.75 was restitution to a private creditor. Probation reported Noriega had paid $1,108 in probation fees and $2,454.57 in restitution; the remaining restitution balance was roughly $2,994, and an estimated $1,100 of payments could be applied if a fee modification were signed. Probation asked that the case be terminated once the remaining roughly $1,300 balance due to the creditor was paid.

Noriega told the court she lives with and helps care for her 80-year-old father and that her father—not she—was in bankruptcy. She said household finances were strained because her father receives Social Security and a VA benefit and her own weekly pay is used to make contributions to the household bankruptcy payment.

The judge said she would sign the modification of fees and that probation would follow up. Probation told Noriega it would contact her to arrange payments; Noriega said she could start paying about $100 a week. The court advised that once the lacking balance was paid, the court would terminate probation.

Probation also clarified that some collection of civil debts against a creditor such as Xerox would be handled through the bankruptcy process, which is a civil matter separate from the criminal/probation case. The court and probation discussed how much of Noriega’s outstanding assessed amounts could be cleared through the proposed modification of fees and the bankruptcy proceedings described on the record.","Probation staff reported that Sylvia Noriega is not personally in bankruptcy but her father is; the court agreed to sign a modification of fees and set steps toward terminating probation when remaining restitution (~$1,300) is paid.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6168946,"Judge reduces bond to $1,500 for D'Anthony Gortley after defense requests cut",526,1540000,2066000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5406219-ebb58bcc3d9b14fa272b531b799ec4b1&start=1540&end=2066","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5406219-ebb58bcc3d9b14fa272b531b799ec4b1/thumbnail_1540000.jpg","/articles/6168946/Texas/Judge-reduces-bond-to-1500-for-DAnthony-Gortley-after-defense-requests-cut","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6168946-1679587549de5e1a788f9d71372515c1/orig.mp4?Expires=1770633286&Signature=LkArA79szqWNmpXLtws~7AKe9EjkHgOjAAzzPU7mLmL1-8AxQ8ylUS3zfDHuCH9dzoODq-Ls6qqnyAR3fJWGHx4egQaEj964K3fK330hNyaarM2w8QsaNaY9aBRkSrbcWb7tzbdNIQv6D5Ocs1sAPDvntBYJAAmSuyQUwlpChEWkxZwDkg329rml6mI3gndI-amoJbk34rl5nQYprNDgUJblgAfH3R9-xsn93gFrKxJu6kNIjT7etEVX-pR5uSRdsa0cmgEIV~a9-WwpfHkKf1zjf9GJmoCmHhpeIC7Tf9YuyBHyIFmHY-WiVE5oJZ3Q54CRjH9AEWSSsUUQ1IDCvw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A judge in Bexar County set bond at $1,500 Friday for D'Anthony Germante Gortley after the defense asked the court to reduce his originally set $7,500 bond.

The court declined to grant a personal-recognizance bond, saying the judge was constrained by governing law. \"I'm not allowed to give him a PR bond for harassment of a public servant. Those are not my rules,\" the judge said from the bench. The judge said the court would consider a reduction instead and invited the defense to present evidence.

Defense attorney Robert Ramirez called Gortley to testify about his finances. Gortley said he had tried to make the $7,500 bond but lacked resources: \"Honestly, I don't have any funds right now. Like, I would have to reach out to my people and see what they will be able to come up with, but I wouldn't be able to even tell you a number,\" he told the court.

The state opposed a full release on personal recognizance. Dr. Whitlock, appearing for the State of Texas, said the original $7,500 amount was appropriate for the offense and that the state did not believe an agreement to reduce bond had been reached.

After hearing testimony and argument, the judge reduced bond to $1,500 and ordered that, if released, Gortley \"should have no residing with minors.\" The judge also advised that counsel could return immediately if they were unable to secure the new bond amount.

The court noted the procedural constraints that limited the availability of a PR bond for the charged offense but allowed the defense's request to reduce the monetary bond instead. Defense counsel said he could present further evidence if the court desired.","A Bexar County judge granted a defense request to reduce the bond for D'Anthony Gortley to $1,500, rejecting a request for a personal-recognizance bond and imposing a condition barring residence with minors.","actionData","errors"]
