Judge Stephanie Boyd announced sentences for Alexander Rodriguez following the sentencing hearing in a case involving sexual-offense convictions. The court imposed concurrent terms: 30 years’ incarceration on count 1 and 15 years each on counts 2 and 3, and ordered the sentences to run concurrently. The judge also ordered lifetime Chapter 62 registration (sex-offender registration), a lifetime no-contact order with the complainant while she is a minor, and a firearms prohibition tied to an affirmative finding of family violence; the court set the fine at $0 and declined to order restitution based on the evidence presented at sentencing.
The state urged a substantially longer sentence, asking for 50 years on count 1 and 20 years on other counts. The defense challenged aspects of the state’s evidence at sentencing, focusing on timeline material: defense introduced and discussed Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) records showing Rodriguez was paroled on 11/19/2013 and contended that certain allegations fell outside the charged time window. The state and judge noted, however, that the victim’s trial testimony placed some abuse within the charged period; Judge Boyd said the jury’s guilty verdict and the evidence presented at trial and sentencing informed the court’s sentencing decision.
The court’s sentencing remarks noted the defendant’s prior arson conviction and the jury verdict on the present charges. The judge imposed credit for time served and reminded Rodriguez of the collateral consequences: Chapter 62 registration is lifetime, the no-contact order prohibits letters, cards and third‑party contact, and a weapons prohibition applies under the family-violence finding. The court accepted the trial court certification of right to appeal and ensured Rodriguez had reviewed and signed the certification with counsel.
The transcript records a dispute over dates and whether the defendant’s parole and halfway-house placement placed him outside the alleged time frame for some counts. Defense witnesses and the court reviewed TDCJ records and parole dates during the sentencing hearing; the court admitted a certified TDCJ record (defense exhibit P-3) showing a release/parole date of 11/19/2013. Judge Boyd stated that evidence presented to the jury and during trial remained relevant to sentencing and proceeded to impose the sentence described above.
