Morning docket: guilty pleas, deferred adjudication and bond and discovery resets in 187th District Court

SAN ANTONIO — The 187th District Court heard a series of pleas, sentencing provisions and procedural matters Thursday under Judge Stephanie Boyd, including guilty pleas accepted by the court, deferred-adjudication orders, competency findings and scheduling for future jury trials and discovery deadlines.

Among the court actions recorded on the docket:

- Roman Allen Flores (cause 2025CR002317) pleaded guilty to evading arrest with a vehicle (third-degree felony) and to a state-jail-felony theft count; the state abandoned one count and the parties asked the court to assess punishment at a 10-year cap on the third-degree felony and 119 days on the state-jail count. The court accepted the pleas, found Flores guilty, and, at the parties' request, set a sentencing hearing with a 4‑week reset; the parties waived a presentence investigation report (PSI). (See "Votes at a glance." )

- Gustavo Jimenez: the defense reported that Jimenez had been restored to competency on July 24 and asked for a discovery reset to allow counsel to gather additional materials. Judge Boyd reset the matter for August 26 for discovery and status so defense counsel can complete review of e-discovery materials.

- Christopher Guerrero asked the court to remove a condition referring him to felony drug court after he declined participation; the judge removed the referral and ordered continued supervision with monthly UAs after the probation officer and defense described current compliance and treatment steps.

- Kevin Luis Trejo (2025CR008042) applied for deferred adjudication for possession of a controlled substance (penalty group 2, less than 1 gram). The court accepted an agreement recommending two years' probated community supervision, a $1,500 fine, restitution for lab testing, proof of employment and standard reporting and supervision conditions; the court noted the defendant waived a right to appeal and consented to stipulations in lieu of live testimony.

- Adam Herrera (cause 2025CR004035) pleaded guilty to possession of a controlled substance (penalty group 1, 1–4 grams). The court accepted the plea and sentenced Herrera to 2 years in prison and requested placement in a therapeutic community program; no applications were requested.

- Johnny Galvan entered pleas in multiple cases; the court accepted pleas and imposed concurrent terms — including a five-year prison term in one cause and 145 days in Bexar County Jail in another — and directed restitution and no-contact conditions where requested by victims.

- Brian J. Worley (2025CR007846) pleaded no contest on one count; the court accepted the plea, found sufficient evidence and imposed an eight-year prison term suspended to probation with conditions recommended by the state (including a TAP evaluation and community-service restitution) and a $2,000 fine.

- Logan Denny pleaded no contest to state-jail-felony theft; the court accepted the plea, found sufficient evidence and sentenced him to 300 days in the county jail under local credit rules.

- Several matters were continued for discovery or trial scheduling: Pedro Rodriguez was told his case is set for jury trial Oct. 7 after counsel rejected the state's offer; Malik Lampkin and others were given discovery/plea deadlines in September; a number of defendants were remanded, had bonds set, or had bond hearings reset for further documentation.

The court recorded multiple administrative actions: competency reports were received and admitted in at least one case (Logan Denny), discovery issues were handled (some prosecutors and defense counsel agreed to provide materials on flash drive where e-discovery access was failing), and several trial dates and discovery deadlines were scheduled for September and October.

Court scheduling and procedural notes: Judge Boyd admitted a competency evaluation as a defense exhibit in one case and found the defendant competent; she ordered multiple discovery resets to give counsel time to exchange voluminous materials or to transfer files when e-discovery systems were inaccessible. Several defendants were instructed to bring documentation for bond or probation, and some hearings (bond or discovery) were set for in-court or Zoom follow-ups.

The court emphasized that communications with probation are important to avoid warrants for missed appointments and reminded defendants that plea bargains do not bind the court to accept sentencing recommendations if the court declines them.
