Judge Stephanie Boyd accepted a plea and deferred adjudication for Michael Anthony Faz on an aggravated-assault charge in Bexar County’s 187th District Court.

On the record the court advised Faz of his rights and the possible sentencing range for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon (a second-degree felony), then accepted the plea and imposed five years of deferred adjudication. Conditions include regular reporting by Zoom or in person, random urine analyses, a TAP evaluation conducted in custody, proof of employment within 30 days of release, and prohibitions on employment as a home-health aide or in positions with unsupervised access to minors. The court also ordered no contact with the complainant listed in the record (identified as Nicholas Alsides) and required 200 hours of community-service restitution.

The judge noted an affirmative finding of a deadly weapon and ordered parenting classes; completion of those classes will account for 100 hours of the required service, and another 100 hours will be satisfied by completing a hostility course, per the court’s explanation. Probation conditions include monthly field visits until further notice. The court emphasized the seriousness of the offense and the combination of gang affiliation referenced in the record when explaining the decision to impose the stated restrictions.

Defense counsel and the state confirmed the plea and the stipulated evidence was accepted into the record. The court told Faz the standard admonishments about the nature of deferred adjudication, including that revocation of deferred adjudication could result in adjudication of guilt and incarceration of up to 20 years for a second-degree felony.

The transcript shows that, following the plea and the court’s statements on conditions, the defendant was remanded for necessary evaluations and that probation and court-ordered programs will monitor compliance.
