Judge grants Emilio Lopez deferred adjudication; 8‑year probation with conditions set
Summary
Judge Stephanie Boyd sentenced Emilio Lopez to eight years deferred adjudication with conditions including community service, no contact with the complainant, reporting requirements and treatment, the court record shows.
Judge Stephanie Boyd sentenced Emilio Lopez to eight years of deferred adjudication in Bexar County 187th District Court and set a package of supervision and treatment conditions that the court said Lopez must meet.
"The court is going to sentence you to 8 years deferred adjudication," Boyd said while announcing terms. The judge ordered regular reporting by Zoom or in person, regular random urinalysis, proof of employment within 30 days, and 200 hours of community‑service restitution (which the court said could be satisfied by obtaining a trade‑school certificate or higher education). The judge also ordered no contact with the complainant, no work involving minors or home‑health care, monthly field visits for six months, anger‑management, and a TAP evaluation (in custody only if a drug screen is positive).
Prosecutor Rick Pena and defense counsel Larry Bloomquist appeared in court for the disposition. Bloomquist said his client accepted responsibility and asked the court to place Lopez on probation; counsel described Lopez's employment history and support network. Pena noted the conviction and the state's sentencing recommendation before the judge announced the terms.
Judge Boyd told Lopez that because the plea limited his appellate rights, the defendant had waived the right to appeal under the plea agreement. The judge also cautioned Lopez that future conduct could expose him to imprisonment and emphasized that probation conditions must be followed precisely. "If you use after, it's a violation," the judge told the defendant during a discussion about urinalysis and TAP evaluation.
The court record reflects the deferred adjudication disposition and the enumerated conditions; the defendant was instructed about reporting and the requirement to block the complainant's number if contact was received inadvertently. The court ordered a $1,500 fine to be probated and specified that field visits would occur monthly for six months. The defendant was excused once the paperwork was completed.
