Court revokes Christian Spiller’s supervision; judge sends him to prison for two years

The court revoked Christian Spiller’s community supervision and imposed a two-year prison sentence after Spiller pleaded true to failing to report to his supervision officer as directed.

Spiller, who had been on community supervision since a 2017 case, admitted a supplemental violation involving repeated failures to report over a sustained period. The state and defense presented a plea agreement that called for revocation of probation and imposition of a two-year term in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice; the defendant waived his right to appeal under that agreement.

Nut graf: The judge followed the plea agreement, revoked Spiller’s probation and sentenced him to two years in prison with credit for time served and a restriction that he not reside with minors. The court also requested therapeutic community placement to address substance issues.

The record shows Spiller had been on supervision with a three-year term (from a 2019 incident) and that the revocation was tied to reporting failures across months. Spiller told the court he had previously struggled with placement and employment; the judge accepted the negotiated resolution and explained the weapon-possession consequences that accompany felony convictions.

Ending: The court entered the revocation and sentence on the record and asked that Spiller be considered for a therapeutic program; administrative processing will follow.
