Court accepts deferred-adjudication plea in aggravated-robbery case for Kendall Woodard

Kendall Woodard entered a plea and the court accepted a deferred-adjudication agreement in an aggravated-robbery case, ordering five years of deferred supervision with conditions including a $2,000 fine, an affirmative deadly-weapon finding, and 200 hours of community service restitution (deemable after completion of parenting classes).

Woodard appeared with counsel and waived reading of the indictment. The court reviewed admonishments and confirmed Woodard understood the rights he waived by pleading and the consequences if deferred adjudication were revoked, including potential life imprisonment for the underlying offense if deferred adjudication were revoked and enhancements proven. The plea included State recommendations: five years of community supervision, no contact with the complainant, TAP evaluation, and 200 hours of community service restitution.

The court accepted stipulations and State exhibits, found sufficient evidence, and deferred a finding of guilt. Conditions imposed include regular reporting by Zoom or in person, random UAs, proof of employment within 45 days, restricted employment (no home health care with minors), parenting classes that can satisfy restitution hours upon completion, and field visits. The court also ordered restitution to the complainant if any and recommended placements and services as needed.
