Defendant pleads; judge sentences Alcus (Aukles) Talbot to 30 years in prison

At a Bexar County docket hearing, a defendant identified as Alcus (Aukles) Talbot pleaded no contest to a murder charge and the court accepted the plea, finding sufficient evidence and imposing a 30-year prison term with an affirmative deadly-weapon finding. The state introduced exhibits and stipulations in lieu of live testimony, and the court reviewed them before entering judgment. The judge told Talbot that "30 years is a lot of time" and urged him to use incarceration to change his life, noting victims "have no more life ahead of them." The court set a date of July 29 for victim-impact allocution and directed that credit be given for any time already served. The court also noted the defendant had waived appeal rights in writing as part of the plea agreement. Scott McCrone represented the defendant; Jason Gereham announced for the state. The court confirmed the defendant reviewed and signed admonishments and discovery acknowledgments before accepting the plea and the waiver of jury trial. Following acceptance of the stipulation and exhibits, the court formally pronounced Talbot guilty and proceeded to sentencing under the plea agreement. The court recorded standard post-conviction restrictions: the defendant was notified that, as a felony conviction, he is prohibited from possessing weapons or ammunition and that if he had questions about those prohibitions he should consult counsel. The judge also asked the parties to place a hold on the defendant for the July 29 victim-impact session so victims could be present or testify on that date.
