Judge revokes Dalen Newman on one case, continues another to ISF after family-witness testimony

A Bexar County judge on Aug. 1 revoked community supervision and sentenced Dalen Newman to 365 days in county jail on one case, while on a separate case the judge continued supervision and ordered in-custody intervention (ISF) and treatment-focused conditions.

During the hearing, a witness and mother, Lisa Newman, told the court she had asked her son to follow household rules and seek employment; she described family support but said he had not complied with certain expectations. After hearing from the witness and counsel, the court revoked Newman in cause number 2025CR001217W, imposed a 365-day county-jail sentence and entered an affirmative family-violence finding. The judge explained limited appeal rights tied to the motion allegations and reiterated the weapons-possession prohibition after a family-violence finding.

On a separate pending case, 2024CR012811, the court offered Newman a choice between revocation with a two-year prison exposure or continued supervision through an in-custody Intensive Services Facility (ISF). Newman elected ISF. The court then denied the state's motion to revoke on that cause and amended conditions to include a TAP evaluation in custody, follow TAP recommendations, and place Newman on ISF probation.

The clerk noted a restitution amount of $629.99 to Academy on the record for one cause; the court asked the probation office to follow up about restitution amounts and implementation. The judge told Newman the options and consequences carefully, and the defendant chose ISF over a prison sentence.

Court staff will implement TAP, ISF placement and restitution follow-ups per probation directions; the judge set related monitoring and reporting requirements.
