Judge Boyd grants early termination of probation after state contacts complainant
Summary
Judge Stephanie Boyd of the 187th District Court granted a defense motion for early termination of probation after probation staff and the state reported no violations and the complainant had been contacted.
Judge Stephanie Boyd, 187th District Court, granted a defendant's motion for early termination of probation after hearing from probation staff and the prosecutor that required conditions had been satisfied and the complainant had been contacted.
The judge told the defendant, "probation has told me that none of that happened, that you've done great. And the state has informed me that the complainant has been contacted, so I'm gonna grant your motion for early termination." The court also said it would sign the probation office's early-termination form and the defendant would receive a copy from probation staff.
Court staff and defense counsel confirmed the state had been asked to contact the complainant; probation had reported successful completion of required programs. The judge declined a separate request for dismissal of the charge, saying the evidence in the file did not support dismissal but did support early termination of supervision.
The judge asked parties to remain in court briefly so the termination document could be prepared and signed. No other formal sentencing or additional conditions were imposed in that hearing.
The record shows the court's action was limited to early termination of probation; the underlying case and any potential future proceedings were not dismissed in this hearing.
