Judge imposes patch, weekly Zoom reporting and TAP evaluation for probationer Concia Roper
Summary
After a contested probation hearing, the court found multiple alleged reporting and testing violations and ordered an updated TAP evaluation, weekly Zoom reporting for 90 days and an anti-opiate patch plus 90 sober-support meetings.
The 187th District Court held a contested motion to revoke hearing for Concia Denae Roper and issued new supervision requirements aimed at addressing missed drug testing and reporting failures.
Probation presented a history of missed and diluted urinalysis results and multiple missed reporting appointments. Officer Michael Seidel (Intake Unit, Bexar County probation) testified about scheduled reporting and repeated missed drug tests, and the state moved on multiple alleged violations. Defense counsel and Roper disputed parts of the record and said transportation and family circumstances contributed to missed tests; Roper said she had work and family commitments and recent transportation help from relatives.
After reviewing probation notes, the court found several violations of Condition 2 (drug-testing and testing compliance) and Condition 4 (reporting) true. Rather than revoking supervision to prison, Judge Stephanie Boyd ordered a set of measures designed to assure treatment and monitoring: an updated TAP (Treatment Assessment and Placement) evaluation to be completed in custody (or arranged promptly), weekly reporting by Zoom for 90 days, placement on a medication patch (until further notice) or bi-monthly in-person testing at the court's direction, and 90 sober-support meetings in 90 days. The judge also authorized probation to consider an out-of-county TAP evaluation if local scheduling delays would cause significant waits for assessment.
The judge emphasized that the orders are intended to be remedial and to ensure Roper's compliance, and warned that failure to comply could result in stricter sanctions. Probation was directed to coordinate the TAP evaluation, confirm patch placement and monitor the Zoom reporting and meeting compliance.
Clarifying details from the hearing: Roper lives in Guadalupe County (Cibolo) and has three children; her most recent child was born July 18, 2023, by C-section. Probation records reflected some cleared urine tests (clear negatives in early 2024) but also several missed and diluted tests later in spring and summer 2024. The court noted the probation officer had mailed appointment reminders and attempted contacts; the judge reiterated that probationers must communicate problems to officers or the court if they cannot comply.
