Judge grants deferred adjudication, orders treatment and probation conditions for Roxanne Hayes
Summary
Roxanne Marie Hayes entered a plea to a controlled-substance charge and received deferred adjudication with a $2,000 probated fine, 200 hours of community service (satisfied in part by parenting classes), routine drug testing and referral to felony drug court.
Roxanne Marie Hayes pleaded to a possession charge in the 187th District Court and was granted deferred adjudication. The court imposed supervision conditions including drug testing, restorative community service, parenting classes and a referral to the felony drug-court program.
The plea resolved the immediate felony count with a deferred finding and a detailed set of supervision conditions intended to address substance use and protect minors in the household. The court ordered a probationary supervision term and treatment-oriented conditions at sentencing.
The state told the court it was proceeding on a lesser-count possession charge and recommended deferred adjudication with a $2,000 fine and restitution to the San Antonio Police Department for drug testing. Defense counsel confirmed the defendant’s review of discovery and readiness to proceed.
Judge Stephanie Boyd accepted the stipulations and the plea. After reviewing the TAP evaluation and the presentence-investigation report, the judge followed the state’s recommendations but adjusted some requirements. The court deferred a finding of guilt and placed Hayes on probation. The judge ordered a $2,000 fine probated, 200 hours of community service restitution (with 100 hours waived upon completion of parenting classes), proof of employment within 30 days, no employment caring for minors, regular reporting and random urine testing, and a TAP evaluation with follow-through on recommendations.
The judge instructed probation to perform monthly field visits for two months and set regular follow-up reporting. The court emphasized the children’s safety, ordered probation to check on the defendant’s two children, and required immediate drug testing; the judge warned that a positive test would result in transfer to inpatient treatment.
The court also referred Hayes to felony drug court and ordered that her community-service hours may be satisfied in part by completion of parenting classes. The judge made an affirmative finding of family violence where appropriate and advised the defendant about appeal rights and weapon-possession prohibitions tied to the conviction and conditions.
Next steps: Hayes must report to probation, complete drug testing as ordered, attend parenting classes, provide proof of employment and comply with drug-court and probation terms. Probation will monitor and report progress to the court.
