Summary
The 187th District Court found Nicholas Dean Courtney in violation of a deferred‑adjudication condition and, following an agreement, revoked probation and sentenced him to two years in prison.
Judge Stephanie Boyd found that Nicholas Dean Courtney violated a condition of his deferred adjudication and revoked his community supervision, sentencing him to two years in prison under an agreed recommendation from the parties.
The court called the matter as 2022 CR 1615, State v. Nicholas Dean Courtney. The prosecutor alleged Courtney failed to report to his supervision officer in July and August 2023, a violation the defendant pleaded true to on the record. The court advised Courtney of the possible consequences of pleading true and confirmed he understood the potential penalties.
Prosecutor Melissa Alvin and defense counsel (identified on the record as Hiccanales) told the court the parties had reached an agreement to revoke probation and impose a two‑year prison sentence. Courtney waived further rights and the court followed the agreement, revoking supervision, finding him guilty, and assessing the two‑year term. The court ordered credit for any time already served and incorporated a request for no contact with a named individual as part of the conditions.
Courtroom remarks note the defendant completed 132 days of an EDRF program (an inpatient treatment program), and the judge discussed limited appeal rights tied to the plea and sentencing. The court also advised the defendant about post‑release mental health services and other requirements associated with a felony conviction.
