Court accepts plea and defers finding of guilt for Matthew Rendon in aggravated-assault case; deferred adjudication recommended
Summary
Matthew Rendon pleaded in cause 2024CR2339-D to aggravated assault with a deadly weapon; the court deferred a finding of guilt, recommended deferred adjudication for five years, and set a restitution hearing date.
Matthew Rendon appeared with counsel and pleaded in cause 2024CR2339-D to aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. The state waived one count and proceeded on count one. The court accepted the plea paperwork and found Rendon had knowingly and voluntarily waived his rights, including the right to a jury trial.
Under the plea, the state recommended deferred adjudication with a five-year term, a $2,000 fine probated, an affirmative deadly-weapon finding if applicable, and restitution to the complainant, Oscar Del Fierro. The court accepted stipulated exhibits in lieu of live testimony and deferred a finding of guilt while placing Rendon on the application for deferred adjudication.
Judge Stephanie Boyd also ordered ancillary conditions: a parenting class, 200 hours of community-service restitution (with 100 hours offset for the parenting class once completed), a hostility-management course, proof of employment within 30 days, no employment with minors or as a home-health provider, monthly field visits for an initial period, and a restitution-setting date (the court set a 30-day date for the restitution hearing).
Ending: The court deferred finding of guilt and entered the defendant on deferred adjudication with state-recommended conditions; a restitution hearing was scheduled to determine any owed amount.
