The 187th District Court accepted Jack Daniel Cross92s plea and followed the parties92 plea agreement, placing Cross on six years of deferred adjudication and setting a suite of supervision and treatment conditions.

Prosecutor Andrew Harrison confirmed the state92s recommendation for deferred adjudication and defense counsel Alfonso Otero said the defendant was amenable. "The court will sentence you to 6 years deferred adjudication," Judge Boyd said after confirming Cross had a place to live and understood the conditions of release.

Conditions included residence with his mother (address to be provided to probation), participation in the court92s mental-health caseload, referral to the Center for Healthcare Services, regular reporting by Zoom or in person, random urine analyses and field visits, and a prohibition on employment involving minors or home health care. The court also required proof of employment or SSI within 40 days.

Boyd stressed medication adherence and follow-up care, telling Cross to inform his doctors about medication side effects and to remain in contact with probation. The court entered the deferred adjudication order consistent with the plea bargain and recorded the supervisory conditions on the record.
