Carrington Scott pleaded guilty to a state‑jail felony of theft from a person, dated March 20, 2025, and the court accepted the plea and sentenced him under the terms of the agreement to 180 days in the Jefferson County jail.
Why it matters: The court’s acceptance of the plea and sentence concludes the county felony case by imposing the agreed jail term and collateral admonishments, including state law restrictions on firearm possession following a conviction.
At the plea hearing, the judge confirmed Scott reviewed the paperwork with counsel, found the plea was entered freely and voluntarily, and found Scott mentally competent to plead. The judge explained the collateral consequences, including that the conviction makes Scott ineligible under Texas law to possess a firearm or ammunition and handed him a written admonishment.
Court action: The court found sufficient evidence to adjudicate guilt and imposed the 180‑day term in the Jefferson County jail under section 12.44 of the Penal Code (as cited at sentencing), credited Scott for any pretrial custody time to which he is entitled, and executed the trial‑court certification showing that this was an agreement followed by the court, thereby waiving appeal rights as described in the certification.
The court also directed disposition of a related misdemeanor resisting charge in misdemeanor court, which the prosecutor indicated would be dismissed per the plea arrangements.
