Court finds Paris Farris competent, follows plea agreement and sentences him to two years; recommends therapeutic community

The court addressed a motion to revoke community supervision in the case State v. Paris Farris (cause 2020CR11626). The defendant had been evaluated for competency and the court was informed that competency had been restored.

The county alleged failures to report and other supervision violations. The parties reached a negotiated recommendation: a two‑year prison term with specific post‑custody conditions. Judge Stephanie Boyd accepted the agreement, sentenced Farris to two years in prison, and gave him credit for 846 days already served in custody. The court imposed a no‑contact order with a named individual (Stephanie Guerrero) and recommended placement in a therapeutic community as part of the defendant’s treatment plan.

The court noted the defendant’s long period of custody and the therapeutic approach that informed the agreed recommendation. The transcript shows the court reviewed competency restoration and the defendant’s treatment contacts before imposing sentence.
