Court Sentences James Cody Davis for Fraudulent Credit Card Use and Firearm Possession

In a significant court session on July 24, 2025, Judge Stephanie Boyd presided over the case of State vs. James Cody Davis in the 187th District Court, where Davis entered a no contest plea to charges of fraudulent possession of a credit or debit card and unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon. The court accepted the plea, which carries a potential sentence of three years in prison.

During the proceedings, Judge Boyd confirmed that Davis had been informed of his rights and understood the implications of his plea. The state proceeded on counts one and three, waiving count two and four, with no objections raised by the defense. The court found that the state had complied with discovery requirements and that Davis had a rational understanding of the charges against him.

Davis's attorney affirmed that his client had not been coerced into the plea and was satisfied with the legal representation provided. The court also noted that Davis had waived his right to a jury trial and understood the consequences of his plea, including the waiver of his right to appeal.

As the session progressed, the court reviewed evidence presented by the state, which included witness statements and police reports. After considering the evidence, Judge Boyd found sufficient grounds to declare Davis guilty on both counts. The court is expected to proceed with sentencing in the coming sessions, with discussions on any restitution owed still pending.

This case highlights the ongoing efforts within the Texas judicial system to address felony charges and ensure that defendants are fully aware of their rights and the legal processes involved. The outcome of this case will have implications for Davis and the broader community as the court continues to navigate similar cases in the future.
