Summary
In 187th District Court, Judge Stephanie Boyd found Andre Alonzo Moody violated a GPS condition and revoked his deferred adjudication, imposing a three-year prison term and an affirmative finding of family violence.
Judge Stephanie Boyd of the 187th District Court revoked Andre Alonzo Moody’s deferred adjudication and sentenced him to three years in prison after finding he violated a GPS-condition on probation.
The court heard the State’s supplemental motion alleging a breach of condition number 29 related to Moody’s GPS monitoring. Moody pleaded “true” to that allegation during a hearing in which the judge reviewed Moody’s probation history and the state requested prison time.
The nut graf: Moody has been on community supervision for about five years with multiple prior motions to revoke. The state told the court Moody had repeated violations, multiple positive marijuana tests, incomplete parenting classes and community service, and unpaid fines. Moody testified about losing close family members, unstable housing and trouble securing steady employment. Defense counsel asked the court to impose the minimum, characterizing the violations as technical; the state asked for three years in prison.
Judge Boyd described repeated noncompliance across years and rejected continuing extensions, saying probation had not produced the required results. The judge granted the State’s motion, revoked Moody’s community supervision, found the violation true, entered an affirmative family-violence finding and sentenced Moody to three years in the Texas prison system with credit for time served. The court also asked that Moody be considered for a therapeutic community program.
During the hearing Moody said he had struggled with housing and the deaths of family members and described efforts to get identification and pursue employment and training. The court repeatedly pressed Moody about why he had not completed required programs and ordered that the probation revocation proceed. Defense asked for minimum incarceration; the state deferred to the court on final time but had sought a three-year term.
The hearing included warnings from the judge that revocation could result in imprisonment up to the statutory maximum tied to the underlying adjudication. The court explained credit for time served and that the facility, not the court, controls any day-for-day credit calculations. The judge advised Moody about post-conviction limits, including weapon possession restrictions tied to the family-violence finding.
Ending: The court’s oral pronouncement concluded the matter. Moody’s sentence was entered on the record and the judge requested therapeutic-court consideration; the record shows Moody will be processed for custody and given credit for any time served.
