Judge extends David Saldivar’s supervision and refers him to felony drug court; no-contact order and GPS conditions set
Summary
The court agreed with the state to withdraw the current revocation motion, extend David Saldivar’s community supervision for two years, and refer him to felony drug court while in custody; if not accepted he will be placed in an inpatient stabilization facility (ISF) and subject to GPS and no-contact conditions with family members.
A judge agreed to the state’s proposed disposition for David Saldivar’s motion to revoke community supervision: the state would withdraw its motion, the court would extend supervision for two years, and while Saldivar remains in custody he would be referred to felony drug court; if felony drug court did not accept him he would be sent to an ISF (inpatient stabilization facility). The court also ordered partial GPS for employment and no in-person contact and no residence with certain family members named on the record (David, Elizabeth and Angela Aguilar).
Prosecutors and defense counsel described Saldivar’s history, discussed mental-health and anxiety concerns and the suitability of felony drug court versus ISF. Probation and the state emphasized the goal of treatment; defense and family members echoed a desire for treatment and assistance locating housing. The court explained that participation in felony drug court could include tailoring services for dual diagnosis if accepted; it noted that ISF placement is a different program and might not address mental-health needs in the same way.
The court placed conditions on any release or supervision change: an extension of two years, GPS for employment purposes upon release, waiving certain fees, and a no-contact/no-residence order with specific family members. The judge told counsel that once defendant stabilized, counsel could request reconsideration of the no-contact order. The record references an alternate plan to void the revocation motion if the agreed conditions were implemented and if the drug-court referral proceeded.
