The morning docket of the 187th District Court on July 31, 2025, presided over by Judge Stephanie Boyd, focused on several significant cases, including a motion to review community supervision for Juan Davila, who was previously sentenced for aggravated assault.
During the proceedings, Davila admitted to violating the conditions of his community supervision by failing to submit to drug testing as required. He acknowledged the potential consequences of his plea, which could include a prison sentence of up to seven years and a fine of $600. Despite the serious implications, Davila chose to plead true to the violation.
The state proposed an agreement to deny the motion to continue Davila on probation but recommended amending his conditions to include a treatment and assessment program while in custody, along with increased supervision. The defense confirmed their understanding of the agreement, which also indicated that the state would not pursue an additional alleged violation that was not documented in the system.
Judge Boyd emphasized the importance of accountability and the need for Davila to adhere to the terms of his probation. She highlighted the significance of communication with his probation officer, especially in moments of relapse. Davila expressed his commitment to following the court's recommendations, opting to accept the amended conditions rather than face a potential prison sentence.
In a separate matter, the court addressed the scheduling of a jury trial for Johnny Dela Rosa, anticipated to last approximately two days. The court is currently engaged in another jury trial, delaying the immediate scheduling of Dela Rosa's case.
Overall, the court's focus on rehabilitation and accountability was evident in the discussions surrounding Davila's case, while the scheduling of the jury trial for Dela Rosa reflects the ongoing legal proceedings within the district.
