Judge Boyd revokes Genaro Reynas probation, sentences him to 18 months with family-violence finding
Summary
The 187th District Court granted the state's motion to revoke probation for Genaro Reyna, issued an affirmative family-violence finding and sentenced him to 18 months in a state jail facility with credit for time served; the court recommended therapeutic services and noted Reyna's history of homelessness and missed drug testing.
Judge Stephanie Boyd granted the state's motion to revoke the probation of Genaro Reyna and sentenced him to 18 months in a state jail facility, the court said during a March docket call.
The court found a violation of Reyna's supervision for failure to submit to drug testing and entered an affirmative finding of family violence. "The court is gonna revoke. There's an affirmative finding of family violence," Judge Boyd told the courtroom, and later said, "The court will sentence you to 18 months in the state jail facility and give you credit for any time served."
The state told the court it sought revocation after Reyna failed condition number 2, by not submitting to drug testing in January 2025; the prosecutor said the recommended disposition followed probation's recommendation to extend supervision and to require substance-abuse treatment. Defense counsel confirmed Reyna had discussed options and accepted the court's proposed conditions. The transcript shows Reyna admitted the violation as "true."
At sentencing the court noted Reyna's long probationary period since February 2022 and the probation office's account that Reyna had been largely homeless and had missed many required contacts and urinalysis tests; the probation officer said transportation and lack of funds contributed to missed testing. Probation and defense asked the court to consider treatment and continued supervision, but Judge Boyd declined the state's request to continue probation and ordered revocation and immediate incarceration.
The court recommended that Reyna request placement in a therapeutic community after intake; Judge Boyd said she had "no jurisdiction to force" placement but urged Reyna to seek the program, which could assist with housing and SSI reapplication on release. The court credited Reyna for any time already served.
The court advised Reyna of his limited appeal rights and of the collateral effects of an affirmative family-violence finding, including prohibitions on weapon possession and restrictions on custodial status.
Court officials set no further follow-up in the transcript; the record shows the court accepted the state's motion, found the violation true, revoked probation and imposed the 18-month sentence.
