Court grants bond forfeiture and remands Josh Randall Sanchez after no-show at scheduled hearing
Summary
The 187th District Court granted bond forfeiture and remanded defendant Josh Randall Sanchez without bond after he failed to appear at a scheduled September hearing; the court said it would reconsider if the defendant appears.
Judge Stephanie Boyd of the 187th District Court granted bond forfeiture and remanded Josh Randall Sanchez after the defendant failed to appear at a hearing the court said was scheduled for September 2025 at 9 a.m.
The judge announced the bond forfeiture after the state reported the defendant’s absence; the court ordered Sanchez remanded without bond and said it would reconsider the remand if Sanchez makes an appearance.
Why this matters: Bond forfeiture and remand remove pretrial release and can lead to additional collateral consequences for defendants who fail to appear, and the court’s order is a formal step that triggers remand procedures.
At the hearing the court recalled the case and noted the defendant had not appeared. The prosecutor (identified in the record as “Valerie” for the state) stated, “I see the bond forfeiture,” and the court granted the forfeiture and remanded the defendant without bond. The court added it would reconsider that decision if the defendant appears in court.
No additional details about the underlying charges or bond amount were specified on the record during the call; the transcript records only the court’s announcement and the state’s statement that a bond forfeiture was appropriate. The court then moved to conclude the docket.
