Defendant Alejandro Nuncio Enters No-Contest Plea; Judge Boyd Imposes Six-Month State-Jail Term

SAN ANTONIO — In 187th District Court, Alejandro Nuncio pleaded no contest to a state-jail felony charge of theft (property under $2,500 with prior convictions). The court accepted the plea and imposed the agreed sentence.

During the plea colloquy, the court confirmed that Nuncio understood the range of punishment — 180 days to 2 years in a state jail facility and a fine up to $10,000 — and that he had reviewed and signed the admonishments and plea paperwork with counsel. The plea agreement stipulated punishment of six months in a state-jail facility, a $1,000 fine and no probationary "applications." Nuncio entered a no-contest plea and stipulated to admission of the state's exhibits and attachments; the court received those exhibits without objection.

Judge Stephanie Boyd found the plea knowingly and voluntarily entered, accepted the stipulations and found sufficient evidence to adjudicate guilt. The court sentenced Nuncio to six months in the state-jail facility, gave credit for time served, imposed a $1,000 fine, and requested placement in a therapeutic community addressing substance use. The court also ordered no contact with Walgreens as part of post-judgment restrictions noted on the record.

The court further advised Nuncio that by virtue of a felony conviction he is restricted from owning or possessing weapons or ammunition; because this was a plea-bargain sentence where the defendant waived appeal rights, the court noted the limited right to appeal (only certain written pretrial motions that had been filed, heard and ruled upon).
