The presiding judge in Fort Bend County Court at Law No. 1 conducted a virtual docket call that set at least one bond, scheduled multiple in‑person pretrial conferences for Aug. 7 at 9 a.m. and recorded procedural updates including plea negotiations and discovery issues.

Many cases were continued to an in‑person pretrial conference on Aug. 7 at 9 a.m., the judge said, and the court repeatedly told defendants and counsel that the Aug. 7 date is an in‑person docket. Defense counsel Mr. Tu told the court, “I received an offer from them this afternoon of a dismissal with 24 hours of community service. I’ve communicated that offer to my client. He is willing to accept that deal.” Tu said a completion letter and dismissal were expected “in about 3 weeks, if not sooner.”

The court set bond amounts in several matters during the session. For one defendant the judge ordered a $5,000 bond and directed the bailiff to take the defendant into custody pending processing. The docket included other bond and release‑condition discussions; in one instance the court announced a new bond of $4,500.

Prosecutors and defense counsel reported ongoing discovery exchanges in multiple files. In one case defense counsel told the court that body‑worn camera footage and other discovery remained under review and that a pretrial conference was set for Aug. 7. In another matter the state said a blood‑discovery disc had been copied and made available for pickup after defense counsel reported a misplaced copy.

The court also addressed routine attendance and appearance problems: several cases were continued or moved on the docket because defendants or counsel were not present on Zoom or had camera/audio issues. The judge repeatedly instructed counsel to bring clients to the courtroom for in‑person dockets when required and directed coordinators to provide contact information when necessary.

The docket ended after the judge entered scheduling orders and confirmations for multiple defendants to return for the Aug. 7 in‑person pretrial docket. The court also advised counsel that if matters resolve before Aug. 7 they need not appear on that date.

Less‑central items included requests for continuances, clarification about plea paperwork, and routine housekeeping such as withdrawing a clerk's KPS entry in one case pending contact between the defendant and counsel.
