Joseph Aleman entered a plea to a lesser-included offense of assault and the court found him guilty. Judge Stephanie Boyd accepted stipulations and evidence from the state and sentenced Aleman to 365 days in the Bexar County Jail with a $2,000 fine. The court noted credit for time served would apply.
During the plea colloquy, the judge reviewed the defendant’s rights, the range of punishment and the written plea documents. The defendant waived a jury trial, consented to stipulated testimony and signed the applicable waiver forms on the record. The court advised that, because this was a plea bargain and the defendant waived appeal, appellate review would be limited to preserved written pretrial motions.
The court also ordered no contact with identified complainants. The court explained how jail credit is applied by the county jail system and that the court does not control certain jail-day credit calculations.
The transcript records the plea, the court’s factual review of state exhibits, and the sentencing at the plea hearing.
