Edward Rodriguez pleads guilty to manufacturing/delivery charge; sentenced to five years and concurrent revocation adjudicated in related case

In Bexar County’s 187th District Court, Edward Rodriguez pleaded guilty under a plea agreement to manufacturing/delivery of a controlled substance (cause 2025CR002041). The court accepted the plea and sentenced Rodriguez to five years in prison with a $2,000 fine; the sentence was ordered to run concurrent with an outstanding case (2024CR2941).

Megan Galloway announced the state’s position on the record and defense counsel confirmed the defendant reviewed discovery and plea documents. Judge Stephanie Boyd asked the defendant whether he understood the rights he was waiving by pleading, including the rights to a jury trial and to confront witnesses; the defendant answered in the affirmative. The court found the plea knowing and voluntary and accepted stipulated exhibits in lieu of live testimony.

The state also moved to adjudicate guilt and revoke community supervision in 2024CR2941 based on an alleged violation (possession of a controlled substance on or about November 2024). Rodriguez pleaded “true” to the violation. After considering the plea and the parties’ agreement, Judge Boyd revoked community supervision, adjudicated Rodriguez guilty, and sentenced him to five years in prison to run concurrent with the 2025 sentence. The court ordered no-contact conditions and recommended placement in a therapeutic community.

During sentencing in the plea matter, defense counsel said Rodriguez “acknowledges he made a mistake” and the defendant expressed remorse. Judge Boyd admonished Rodriguez regarding firearms possession following a felony conviction and confirmed the defendant had knowingly waived his right to appeal under the plea agreement.

Ending: The court entered concurrent five-year sentences in both the manufacturing/delivery case and the revoked-supervision matter and directed related conditions and recommendations as part of the disposition.
