On the record, Logue — who identified himself as a 100% disabled veteran — acknowledged he reviewed the indictment, plea paperwork and court admonishments with counsel and waived a jury trial. Under the plea agreement the court announced an eight-year sentence would be imposed but suspended and probated for six years.

Conditions articulated on the record included regular reporting (by Zoom or in person), random urine analyses, proof of employment or proof of disability within 45 days of release, restrictions on employment involving minors or as a home health caregiver, ignition interlock until further notice, a two-year license suspension, a DWI intervention program, a TAP evaluation with compliance with recommendations, forfeiture of a firearm, 200 hours of community-service restitution (with disability documentation to address community-service feasibility) and 90 sober meetings in 90 days. The court also ordered the probation office to make a referral for felony drug court in custody; if that program did not accept him, the court directed a referral to veterans treatment court out of custody. The judge explained the goal was prompt treatment placement: \"I just want him to get the treatment as quickly as possible.\"

The court emphasized that, because the plea followed a written agreement and the defendant waived appeal rights subject to the terms read on the record, the defendant does not have permission to appeal except for specified pretrial motions that were filed, heard and ruled upon. The court also directed that the judgment be satisfied in a related cause number and that credit be given for any time already served.

Speakers on the record included the presiding judge, defense counsel Ashley Compton, probation liaison LeSean (Vashawn) Abrams and the defendant Mark Logue. Probation and court staff discussed program referrals and coordination with drug court and veterans treatment court.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","TUE.

During the guilt phase the jury found the defendant guilty of aggravated kidnapping as charged in the indictment and did not find beyond a reasonable doubt that a deadly weapon was used or exhibited. At the punishment phase the jury returned a verdict that the defendant voluntarily released the complaining witness, identified on the record as Veil Contreras Perez, in a safe place. The jury assessed confinement at three years, imposed no fine, and recommended that the defendant’s application for community supervision be denied.

The trial record included a victim impact statement from the complaining witness, who described lasting emotional and physical effects. In Spanish, through an interpreter, the complaining witness said, “I do not smile anymore. Life is not the same,” and described difficulty sleeping and changes to daily life and relationships. The court allowed that testimony in the punishment phase and the jury heard additional testimony about probation and community supervision from a probation liaison.

Defense counsel argued for a prison range reduced by the jury’s affirmative finding on release in a safe place and asked for a sentence no greater than 10 years with a recommendation for community supervision, citing the defendant’s family ties and support network. The prosecution opposed probation and urged the jury to impose a prison sentence, ultimately asking for a term near the statutory maximum available under the applicable punishment range given the facts and evidence.

After the verdict, the court formally sentenced Cepeda Ronda to three years in prison, credited him for time served, recorded that there was no deadly weapon finding for sentencing purposes, and confirmed the jury’s denial of community supervision. The court also recorded that the defendant retains the right to appeal because the case was tried to a jury; the clerk will prepare standard post-trial paperwork.","A jury found Angel Miguel Cepeda Ronda guilty of aggravated kidnapping but unanimously concluded the complainant had been released in a safe place; jurors sentenced him to three years in prison and denied community supervision, and the court permitted a victim impact statement.",{"_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},6144203,"Christopher Xavier Bernal enters no-contest pleas; judge accepts plea bargains and records prison sentences and no-contact orders",1078,4912000,5990000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5535157-2f936ddd1174f7170a6fc23961209abf&start=4912&end=5990","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5535157-2f936ddd1174f7170a6fc23961209abf/thumbnail_4912000.jpg","/articles/6144203/Texas/Christopher-Xavier-Bernal-enters-no-contest-pleas-judge-accepts-plea-bargains-and-records-prison-sentences-and-no-contact-orders","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6144203-eb06ad3b5a29ba6140df61d8e8b62d2b/orig.mp4?Expires=1770737411&Signature=YkhQ~J7QfNgYx8KyOIzbi7N96ud2C4Q-Q1PysJfswD3HU~-d13~a0MokBkbSDlJc-xvFkr4160j-LgEgqC6HdRXWiA8uqmp2HCz4jHVHSHYsttlz5tU54Z5FYJL4W6AIkI8IvmrWpXymyt6gUscS-ZqN8EaGl9KO7zyHDWbyvSpDnRe6G4KVPv~4EyyHJDG97vC675Gz7OkaQxlhnRD6yBgxGy17eZ5j1HMV36hbLGv7Jyg7ya02a-w3kF0c6kCcrSvvP0youzvK5Oivn~iTBPK-9NeUnJWGgnH8rCgAFZZaerGaN6CR231eSpgRWjQ7oyIMKZUsq6-h3NH4PWZCNA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Christopher Xavier Bernal appeared in Bexar County District Court and entered pleas in multiple cause numbers; the court accepted plea agreements, adjudicated Bernal guilty, and imposed sentences that included multi-year terms and no-contact orders.

The court called cause numbers including 2025CR006379 and others. Bernal, represented in court, waived reading of the indictments and acknowledged he had reviewed admonishments and plea paperwork with counsel. For one cause number (ending in 16), the plea agreement provided for 149 days in the Bexar County Jail to be served under code section noted on the record, to run concurrent with 2025CR006379; the state would take into consideration several other cause numbers. In two cause numbers the court accepted pleas that carried six-year prison terms; for a separate cause the court assessed a $1,500 fine and a six-year prison term to run concurrently with certain other causes.

The court recorded an affirmative finding of family violence for one cause and ordered no contact with named individuals: Olga Tobar; Justin Vasquez; Emily Torres; Samantha Hernandez; and Claudia Sanford. The court advised Bernal that, with a finding of family violence, he is prohibited from owning or possessing weapons or ammunition and may not be designated primary custodial parent as specified on the record.

Defense counsel confirmed that the defendant reviewed and signed waiver-of-appeal documents and stipulations; state exhibits were admitted by stipulation. The court accepted the stipulations and found sufficient evidence to find Bernal guilty in each cause number presented.

Sentences and conditions were entered on the record as part of the plea bargains, and the court stated that the plea agreements would be followed as recorded; where the court follows a plea agreement, the defendant generally waived permission to appeal. The record shows restitution, no-contact provisions, concurrent sentencing instructions, and an affirmative finding of family violence in at least one case. The record did not show live testimony in these pleas, as evidence was presented via stipulations and exhibits.

Speakers on the record included the presiding judge, counsel Michael De Leon and Robert Gallon for the defendant, the defendant Christopher Xavier Bernal, and an unnamed state prosecutor who announced the state’s position.","Christopher Xavier Bernal pleaded no-contest or no contest to multiple charges in Bexar County; the court accepted plea agreements, imposed concurrent sentences including multi-year terms and no-contact orders, and recorded an affirmative finding of family violence in one case.",{"_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},6144208,"Judge resets revocation hearing for Eric Lee Cooper to Aug. 12 after defendant pleads true to reporting violation",240,600000,840000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5535157-2f936ddd1174f7170a6fc23961209abf&start=600&end=840","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5535157-2f936ddd1174f7170a6fc23961209abf/thumbnail_600000.jpg","/articles/6144208/Texas/Judge-resets-revocation-hearing-for-Eric-Lee-Cooper-to-Aug-12-after-defendant-pleads-true-to-reporting-violation","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6144208-d85042fe472499987ff4573eca888711/orig.mp4?Expires=1770737411&Signature=lBJ1a8F4oN66okbiwoReRDNvKF3eLf~6DZn3WfLExx261-Zb-14OG5bcrn3MB1etMeKTvrxxRCEheGIahjO~azgnv7NE3wpPU3EULiqlBBDzlpIAzZ5yUPjtBL97D39hG~YjuMKGQMRXgn9CkTI9My4lAF~kw3oFQhwXoHWXCDj9zF~JO1Oop0EiyVcvBugXzIrnS3P1XLmhIYJVdCCWsWpak-Wl5gxM3vrb8JjWl-Edk1LiaPtLqfim~VcA7S7uvy7MY~PSoGW910KcZmypB8zIOrjVhDY1lcZGVlIBOx6cqKZAznUvh4Q8fakOjFQyOT65skrA9a8bjR2exPbQDA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A judge in Bexar County District Court set a revocation hearing for Aug. 12 after defendant Eric Lee Cooper pleaded true to violating a supervision condition by failing to report to his supervision officer.

The court called causes 2024CR008984 and 2024CR5691, both involving Cooper. The state alleged Cooper failed to report as directed for October and November 2024 in violation of condition No. 4 of his supervision. Cooper acknowledged the violation when asked by the court, and the court said it would find the violation true for both cause numbers.

The court advised Cooper that pleading true to the violation exposed him to potential punishment under the respective cause ranges, and then recessed to set a new hearing date. The judge and the state agreed that, if needed, Cooper’s witnesses may appear by Zoom. The court scheduled the next hearing for Aug. 12 so defense counsel could secure witness testimony.

No formal sentence was imposed at the time of the reset; the court’s finding of a true violation was entered and the matter was continued to allow the defense to present witnesses at the next hearing. The state’s motion to revoke community supervision remains pending.

Speakers in the hearing included the presiding judge, defense counsel Julie Pollock, Deputy Laura and the defendant Eric Lee Cooper. The state’s prosecutor spoke for the state but was not named on the record.

The outcome recorded at the hearing was a court finding that condition No. 4 was true and a continuance to Aug. 12 to allow witness testimony by in-person appearance or Zoom.","In Bexar County court, Eric Lee Cooper acknowledged violating a supervision condition by failing to report to his supervision officer; the state agreed witnesses could testify by Zoom and the hearing was set for Aug. 12.","actionData","errors"]
