Judge grants motion to revoke for Juan Flores and sentences him to four years in prison with family-violence finding
Summary
Following a plea to a probation violation, the 187th District Court found Juan Flores violated reporting conditions and granted the state's motion to revoke supervision; the court imposed a four-year prison sentence and an affirmative finding of family violence.
The 187th District Court granted the state's motion to revoke community supervision for Juan Flores after he pleaded true to a reporting violation and the court found the violation proved.
Prosecutor Ashley Jones announced the state's case and read the alleged violation: Flores failed to attend orientation at the Bexar County Community Supervision and Corrections Department as directed, in violation of Condition 4. Flores pleaded true to the allegation and told the court he had been in a difficult period after the death of his father and that he had become lost and isolated after release. Defense counsel asked the court to consider the defendant's circumstances and requested leniency or an alternative to incarceration.
Judge Stephanie Boyd found the violation true, granted the state's motion, and sentenced Flores to four years in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ), with an affirmative family-violence finding. The court advised Flores about the limited right to appeal associated with a plea-based revocation, explained the prohibition on possession of weapons following the conviction and affirmed that the defendant would receive credit for any time already served in custody. The judge also recommended therapeutic community placement where appropriate.
The court's order is effective immediately; the record shows defense counsel and the prosecutor discussed pleas and procedural documents during the hearing.
