Judge orders inpatient DDRF placement, GPS and no-contact conditions instead of revocation for Caleb Crum

The 187th District Court heard the state's motion to revoke community supervision for Caleb Crum and found multiple probation violations true, but declined to revoke him to prison and instead ordered treatment and supervision conditions.

Judge Stephanie Boyd heard argument from the state and Crum's defense on a motion to enter adjudication of guilt and revoke community supervision. The state asked the court to revoke and recommended a six-year term in prison; defense and probation urged a treatment-based alternative. The court reviewed probation reports, treatment notes and victim-related materials in deciding how to proceed.

The court found several violations of Crum's supervision—specifically failures to follow instructions from Center for Healthcare Services and failures to remain compliant with prescribed medications—but denied the state's motion to revoke. Instead, the judge ordered that Crum remain in custody for transfer to a Diagnostic Drug Rehabilitation Facility (DDRF) for treatment. On release from DDRF the court ordered full GPS monitoring and barred contact with the victim identified in the record (Brooklyn Fromm) and with minors. The judge also prohibited Crum from entering Waco, Texas, and directed that supervision fees be waived. The court said probation would continue to craft conditions to protect the community and directed probation to report any problems back to the court.

Defense counsel told the court Crum has been in and out of treatment programs and argued DDRF or placement with family would better address Crum's mental-health and medication needs than incarceration. The state acknowledged family concerns about the defendant's behavior but maintained public-safety worries. Probation told the court the defendant had a history of medication noncompliance and lapses in reporting; the court said the record showed some negative UAs but also gaps and diluted samples at other times.

The judge explained that revocation to prison remained an option if Crum failed to comply with the court-ordered treatment plan, and warned that the court's alternative orders aimed to address both treatment needs and community safety.

Court directions and outcome: the court denied revocation (did not impose prison), ordered DDRF transfer, required full GPS on release, waived supervision fees, imposed a no-contact order with the named victim and minors, and barred entry into Waco. Probation remains tasked with implementing the treatment placement and reporting back to the court.
