Judge Stephanie Boyd accepted a plea and placed Roxanna Gomez on three years of deferred adjudication on a state jail felony theft charge during a hearing in the 187th District Court.

The court accepted the state’s recommendation of deferred adjudication and imposed conditions that include an $800 fine (probated), regular reporting by Zoom or in person, random urine analyses, a TAP evaluation, parenting classes and 200 hours of community-service restitution. The judge ordered proof of employment within 30 days of release and prohibited unsupervised contact with minors and employment as a home health care provider. The court also ordered no contact with Walmart, and indicated 100 hours of the community service would be deemed satisfied if Gomez completes an approved trade-school certification program; the remaining 100 hours would otherwise be served.

The judge spoke at length about programs to reduce the likelihood of future offenses, directed that a TAP evaluation and referral to felony drug court be completed in custody, and said deputies would take Gomez into custody that day for evaluations. The transcript shows the judge told Gomez that if deferred adjudication is later revoked, the court could adjudicate guilt and impose up to two years in a state jail facility and a fine up to $10,000, per the admonishments read on the record.

Defense counsel (identified in court as Mr. Edelman) confirmed defense review of plea paperwork on the record. The state agreed to the plea and evidence exhibits and stipulations were accepted by the court before sentencing.

The judge emphasized treatment options and warned that entering the plea waives certain rights, including the right to a jury trial and the general right to appeal absent preserved pretrial motions. The record shows the court will have Gomez drug-tested immediately and pursue felony drug court where appropriate.

No live testimony was presented as part of the stipulation and the court received state exhibits and attachments into evidence before accepting the plea.

Gomez was remanded to custody for the TAP evaluation and felony-drug-court screening; the court set no additional hearings in the portion of the transcript covering her plea.
