Judge revokes probation, sentences Victoria Sanchez to three years after condition violation

A Bexar County judge revoked the deferred adjudication of Victoria Marie Sanchez after finding she violated condition 28 of her supervision and sentenced her to three years in prison.

The state alleged Sanchez failed to comply with the rules, regulations or instructions of the Bexar County Community Supervision and Corrections Department’s substance-abuse treatment plan and that she was unsuccessfully discharged for refusing to participate. Sanchez pleaded true to the single alleged violation. The state asked the court to revoke community supervision and sentence Sanchez to two years in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice; the defense asked the court to impose a term of 180 days in state jail, time served, and then judgment satisfied.

After reviewing Sanchez’s case history — including multiple prior motions to revoke and earlier efforts at outpatient and intensive outpatient referrals — the judge declined the defense’s recommendation and stated the record showed repeated noncompliance. The judge said the defendant had not completed the court-ordered steps to stabilize custody and family circumstances. The court found violation number 28 true, revoked Sanchez’s deferred adjudication, and sentenced her to three years in prison, with credit for time served. The court also requested therapeutic-community consideration and noted the defendant would receive credit for successful inpatient treatment if applicable.

The judge reminded Sanchez that because this was a felony conviction she would be barred from possessing weapons and that she retained limited appellate rights related to matters raised in the motion. The court directed defense counsel and probation to coordinate placement in therapeutic programs if appropriate once the sentence was being processed.
