Judge Boyd orders 60 days in Bexar County Jail and extends probation for Ayesha Esparza

The 187th District Court imposed a 60-day Bexar County Jail sanction as a condition of probation and extended supervision for two years on defendant Ayesha Esparza after finding violations in her community supervision.

During the docket the court reviewed Esparza's missed reporting and supervised-contacts history. Judge Stephanie Boyd gave Esparza two options: be found guilty (which would result in a conviction on the record) or accept a 60-day county-jail sanction as a condition of continued deferred adjudication. "Those are your two choices," the judge said, and after consulting with counsel Esparza agreed to the 60-day sanction.

The judge ordered an extension of probation for two years, placement on intensive-supervision probation (ISP) under the court's high-risk supervision unit (HRC) and in-person reporting; the court emphasized compliance and warned that further violations could lead to revocation. The judge said the 60 days would begin immediately and that prior brief sanctions would not be credited toward the 60-day sanction.

Probation and defense characterized Esparza's progress as uneven; the court noted prior noncompliance and emphasized that the sanction is intended to promote rehabilitation and compliance. The judge also directed supervision-level monitoring and required the defendant to complete MRT (cognitive-behavioral) programming and other conditions ordered by probation.

The court recorded its order on the docket and instructed deputies to take the defendant into custody for the imposed county-sanction period.
