The State proceeded on a lesser-included count for possession of a controlled substance (penalty group 1, 200–400 grams) and the defendant pleaded no contest on counts 2, 3 and 4 as recorded on the docket. The court accepted stipulations and state exhibits into evidence, found there was sufficient evidence to support the pleas, and found the defendant guilty on the three counts.

At sentencing the court imposed eight years in prison on each of counts 2, 3 and 4 and ordered the sentences to run concurrently. The court also imposed a $2,000 fine and ordered no contact with minors. The judge explained the waiver-of-appeal paragraph and reminded the defendant that felony convictions carry restrictions including prohibition on possessing weapons or ammunition.

Defense counsel asked the court to follow the plea bargain; the State agreed to the recommended sentence. The court advised the defendant about life choices and consequences moving forward and indicated the concurrent eight-year terms and the fine would be entered as the formal disposition on the record.

The defendant, appearing under the name recorded in court, acknowledged a history of drug use in the preceding two years and told the court he did not want inpatient treatment; the judge explained that an evaluation (TEP) likely would result in an inpatient-treatment referral. The court announced a sentence of two years in a state jail facility, suspended and probated for five years, and ordered inpatient treatment through the local program referred to on the record as “Safe P” (an inpatient treatment referral). The court ordered regular reporting by Zoom or in person, regular random urinalyses, proof of employment within 45 days of release, no employment involving minors or home health work, 200 hours of community service restitution, field visits monthly, and a prohibition on contact with specified individuals or minors.

The court emphasized that the defendant would remain in custody until transferred to an inpatient treatment facility and warned about consequences if he refused treatment: probation could file a motion to revoke. The judge instructed immediate coordination with probation and treatment providers, and the record shows that the court planned a TEP evaluation while also suspending the sentence and placing the defendant on supervised probation with multiple conditions geared to treatment and public safety.

The defendant received credit for time served and was advised in open court about the waiver of appeal and the ban on firearms possession that follows a felony conviction. The transcript reflects the court’s preference for treatment-first when available and the procedural path if the defendant declines treatment.","A defendant who admitted recent heroin use received a suspended state-jail sentence, probation, and a planned referral to inpatient drug treatment (Safe P); the court emphasized treatment over immediate release and set detailed probation 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},6159962,"Judge keeps Richard Cantu on supervision with mixed caseload, seeks housing placement and medication compliance",777,5895000,6672000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5452121-5d142c2914d0bdf4b028f03c34d01903&start=5895&end=6672","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5452121-5d142c2914d0bdf4b028f03c34d01903/thumbnail_5895000.jpg","/articles/6159962/Texas/Judge-keeps-Richard-Cantu-on-supervision-with-mixed-caseload-seeks-housing-placement-and-medication-compliance","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6159962-d0f395bfe5aca6b63daada90d38a1458/orig.mp4?Expires=1770771033&Signature=gnQK2xmzCKs9xAQi1dtv3aSgQn8E5KcSwKJmnhiZ0NVHwJExchved52BOnJwYLYJ6hFgx5A8tzF3vfcli~E4jqw7scThKBLFSCVkeEmAH44zRlpHuuRlFjhYalD6fdPblakJJzGJ9gBwHS~6AZt1g~O4U-mq~oi14JOECXg1SKqosA6s~WtARwMDJhyDQUnsFStYyYSVGay3MHw4IlDkPfuDbdcLKLc-r8VhSCPrBIVHwD0kFITPhJTM9si1lD~MyYS61fpqIbDAyqaP2M~Lukfoht7kAp-a~Zy9r6Q89~yfvppmzBCI0VXKVfKgMC3hxJmJuA7JVdmZ8LvlCNudCQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A Bexar County judge denied the State’s motion to revoke community supervision for Richard Cantu and instead amended his conditions to place him on a mixed supervision caseload, require biweekly reporting, mandate compliance with prescribed medication, and seek interim housing at Haven for Hope while the court and probation pursue permanent placement.

Defense counsel told the court that Cantu had been found incompetent earlier, underwent a jail-based competency program, and regained competency after receiving Abilify injections while incarcerated. Counsel said Cantu had resumed the injections before the recent short magistrate hearing and that competency findings had been entered. The court and counsel discussed the practical limits of forcing medication outside custody, noting that involuntary medication would require a separate court hearing and an order.

Probation recommended mixed supervision with biweekly reporting and monthly UAs; the defense and probation asked for downtown reporting to reduce transportation barriers. The judge ordered mixed caseload supervision, biweekly reporting until further notice, payment referrals and coordination with the mental-health unit and the Center for Healthcare Services, and a referral to housing assistance. The court specifically directed that Cantu temporarily reside at Haven for Hope until alternate housing is found and discussed Towne/Twin Village as a possible permanent-housing option.

The judge instructed probation to coordinate with the mental-health officer and case manager to ensure medication compliance and to work toward a stable placement. The court recorded the defense request to continue probation rather than enter an adjudication. Cantu stated he wanted to remain on probation and that his sister and a named doctor would assist with medication continuity.","After a competency review and discussion of medication-based stability, the court denied a revocation motion for Richard Cantu and amended his supervision to a mixed caseload with biweekly reporting and a plan for housing through Haven for Hope or Twin/Towne Village.",{"_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},6159966,"Probation officer testifies defendant did not report in December; options discussed at revocation hearing",1410,2408000,3818000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5452121-5d142c2914d0bdf4b028f03c34d01903&start=2408&end=3818","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5452121-5d142c2914d0bdf4b028f03c34d01903/thumbnail_2408000.jpg","/articles/6159966/Texas/Probation-officer-testifies-defendant-did-not-report-in-December-options-discussed-at-revocation-hearing","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6159966-bf2e5f84dde63dbc290bf8ffe27e5267/orig.mp4?Expires=1770771033&Signature=AWzKA64zYSe7F4c-ZqqmfKMg67XO96aq3QuddRY6x0nIjk4PCcTrBTYyvkuHzJUv1JA2aAhegtRmTdd-SrMCFqcbOO8DktUu4TKDONa4ba9IkEBgc7JEPjXR9GUFDHAto02cDQ2ENWpHZyLJ-53bn6FwztvN~sCVWhQ7vJkdCAHH-eNZ4MCZgoh7RnNoLMmbZFlYlN71-yJjUzoASMHCPYewy4Uwp08njTT7Z61UNPkqKic2KxBYDxl2pRV65irOqa8H4z1OaADvlxj-TAHqrjzl3UBjjEdWRHwvnyWaB8OX0-Dbjqm77y7zIFQTWCJdSVkjYGyU1zZeZY8ibJIylQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At a Bexar County probation revocation hearing, the court heard testimony from probation officer Keanna Neal that Noah Javier Gonzalez did not report as required in December 2024. Gonzalez pleaded true to the alleged violation and the state waived remaining violations in three related cause numbers.

The hearing included a factual dispute: Gonzalez told the court he had been reporting weekly to the Windcrest office and presented mitigating testimony from collateral witnesses, including family. The court then summoned the probation officer by Zoom to resolve whether Gonzalez had reported in December. Officer Neal testified the department had contact with the defendant's mother but not the defendant in December, and that collateral contacts are not treated as a substitute for reporting. She also reviewed the officer's records and stated Gonzalez had reported in February and March but not in April or May; he was arrested in mid-June and remained in custody thereafter.

On the record the state described an agreed recommendation earlier presented to the court — to deny the state's motion to revoke and instead amend supervision conditions to include a more structured program — but the judge focused the hearing on verifiable reporting and the available judicial choices. The judge explained two principal options: revoke and sentence the defendant (up to the statutory maximums applicable to the underlying offenses) or continue supervision and seek transfer to inpatient drug treatment. When the judge asked Gonzalez which option he preferred, he said, “I’ll take the first choice,” indicating he preferred incarceration over inpatient treatment. The court cautioned Gonzalez about the collateral consequences of a felony adjudication and advised him to consult with counsel.

The hearing record reflects the plea of “true” to the charged reporting violation and the probation officer’s testimony that the defendant did not report in December 2024. The transcript does not record an immediate written disposition or a final revocation order during the docket entry; the state had indicated alternative recommendations, and further action or formal sentencing was not entered on the record in the segment provided.","At a revocation hearing, probation records and testimony showed Noah Javier Gonzalez did not report to his supervision officer in December 2024; the state moved to revoke, the defendant pled true to one violation, and the judge outlined options including revocation or transfer to inpatient treatment.",{"_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},6159971,"Defendant Martinez receives deferred adjudication, ordered community supervision and restrictions",701,412000,1113000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5452121-5d142c2914d0bdf4b028f03c34d01903&start=412&end=1113","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5452121-5d142c2914d0bdf4b028f03c34d01903/thumbnail_412000.jpg","/articles/6159971/Texas/Defendant-Martinez-receives-deferred-adjudication-ordered-community-supervision-and-restrictions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6159971-9daaef228d53486b374a5dae1c89eea7/orig.mp4?Expires=1770771033&Signature=eDksT7Aqbwww6ZX2NE13i5gg837-XTqDGcViT0npJwrcJxmXZsy8jAtMEX6WLXH3YxOBLqjVzJbUtoQyK4a4e1Gvh6ehmfYMf9Z4279UBHdNp5KEPy-phWJTRwtB~qmVWjcZ3w04gUOSHU9va1-2It~Ux5CKMjMYg~AT3KD63Rq-KVXz1TFMyDrvmmYl3q2Y4XG54PBVFy-wYChU2qw6hNI-z35UbouYw0Mh4BRg6hDcdSA0MlBuA2gep1Ce5sxhR9zXYpa2Raenr0DRnlReX8SKbILWOREUqw-URK-5mFrlsknnQeQ37Fe5Ik5RaUEOw7IehyotIhYeEYb71mFwtQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A judge in Bexar County Criminal Court accepted John Anthony Martinez's no-contest plea on an aggravated-assault-with-a-deadly-weapon charge and deferred a finding of guilt while imposing community supervision and several conditions. The plea hearing and sentencing occurred during the county docket on a date provided in court records.

The court found the State in compliance with discovery and Martinez acknowledged reviewing the indictment, plea paperwork and admonishments with defense counsel before entering the plea. The court explained that aggravated assault with a deadly weapon is a second-degree felony with a potential punishment range of two to 20 years in prison and up to a $10,000 fine, and that a deferred adjudication could be revoked later and converted to a conviction with exposure to the maximum sentence.

Under the terms announced in court and reflected in the judge’s oral pronouncement, Martinez faces an eight-year term of deferred adjudication with regular reporting by Zoom or in person, regular and random urinalyses, 200 hours of community-service restitution, parenting classes (completion could reduce community service hours), proof of employment within 30 days, and a $2,000 fine that is probated. The court ordered restitution of $60 to the Department of Public Safety and additional restitution to Elias Aguilar Bautista. The court also entered an affirmative deadly-weapon finding and ordered no contact with specified persons and ignition-interlock requirements on any vehicle he drives for half the term; the court discussed a portable device if Martinez could show he did not have access to a vehicle.

Defense counsel noted Martinez had completed a victim-impact panel and an education class and described his employment with a local electricians’ union and family responsibilities. During the hearing the judge repeatedly advised Martinez of the limits of the court’s discretion, the consequences of revocation, and that the waiver-of-appeal paragraph limits appeals to certain pretrial motions.

The court also instructed Martinez to work with his probation officer on conditions and noted that if he has questions or problems he should raise them with his probation officer or return to court. No additional judicial action such as revocation or modification was recorded during this docket beyond the imposition of the deferred-adjudication terms announced at sentencing.","A Bexar County courtroom accepted John Anthony Martinez's no-contest plea in an aggravated-assault case, deferred adjudication and set multiple conditions including restitution, community service and an ignition interlock requirement.","actionData","errors"]
