In a significant court session on September 16, 2025, Judge Stephanie Boyd presided over the case of Mister Crawford, who entered a no contest plea regarding charges of theft valued between $2,500 and $30,000. The court found that the state complied with discovery requirements, and Crawford confirmed he understood the implications of his plea, including potential deportation for non-citizens.

Crawford's attorney affirmed that his client was competent and had a rational understanding of the charges. The plea agreement included a recommendation for deferred adjudication for five years, with conditions such as 200 hours of community service, restitution of $3,746.99 to Target, and completion of a mental health evaluation and anti-theft course.

Judge Boyd emphasized the importance of understanding the rights being waived by entering a no contest plea, which allows for the possibility of civil action despite the criminal proceedings. The court accepted the plea, noting that no live testimony would be presented, relying instead on written statements and police reports.

This case highlights the judicial process surrounding plea agreements and the careful consideration given to defendants' rights and understanding in Texas courts.
