Mark Logue pleads to third-time DWI; judge suspends 8-year sentence and grants 6-year probated term with treatment and monitoring conditions
Summary
A Bexar County judge accepted a plea from Mark Logue on a third-or-more driving-while-intoxicated charge and imposed an eight-year sentence that was suspended and probated for six years with treatment and monitoring conditions.
A Bexar County judge accepted a plea from Mark Logue on a charge of driving while intoxicated (third or more) and imposed a sentence that the judge suspended and probated, subject to an array of treatment and supervision conditions.
On the record, Logue — who identified himself as a 100% disabled veteran — acknowledged he reviewed the indictment, plea paperwork and court admonishments with counsel and waived a jury trial. Under the plea agreement the court announced an eight-year sentence would be imposed but suspended and probated for six years.
Conditions articulated on the record included regular reporting (by Zoom or in person), random urine analyses, proof of employment or proof of disability within 45 days of release, restrictions on employment involving minors or as a home health caregiver, ignition interlock until further notice, a two-year license suspension, a DWI intervention program, a TAP evaluation with compliance with recommendations, forfeiture of a firearm, 200 hours of community-service restitution (with disability documentation to address community-service feasibility) and 90 sober meetings in 90 days. The court also ordered the probation office to make a referral for felony drug court in custody; if that program did not accept him, the court directed a referral to veterans treatment court out of custody. The judge explained the goal was prompt treatment placement: "I just want him to get the treatment as quickly as possible."
The court emphasized that, because the plea followed a written agreement and the defendant waived appeal rights subject to the terms read on the record, the defendant does not have permission to appeal except for specified pretrial motions that were filed, heard and ruled upon. The court also directed that the judgment be satisfied in a related cause number and that credit be given for any time already served.
Speakers on the record included the presiding judge, defense counsel Ashley Compton, probation liaison LeSean (Vashawn) Abrams and the defendant Mark Logue. Probation and court staff discussed program referrals and coordination with drug court and veterans treatment court.
