Court revokes Christian Escobar Reyna’s deferred adjudication, sentences him to two years after repeated probation violations
Summary
Judge Boyd found three probation violations true for Christian Escobar Reyna, revoked deferred adjudication and sentenced him to two years in prison; the judge noted the defendant had not engaged with probation and urged treatment placement on release.
The 187th District Court revoked Christian Escobar Reyna’s deferred adjudication after the defendant admitted multiple violations of supervision, and the court imposed a two‑year prison sentence.
The State charged Reyna with failing to report as directed for several months and moved to revoke community supervision. Reyna pleaded “true” to multiple violations and acknowledged a new charge (a TIC for possession less than one gram) had been taken. The State recommended revocation and a two‑year sentence; the defense asked the court to consider lifetime recovery programming as an alternative.
Judge Stephanie Boyd reviewed Reyna’s compliance history and told him the court had repeatedly tried to secure his participation. “All you had to do was pick up the phone and call probation,” she said, criticizing Reyna’s failure to engage. The judge explained she considered a longer sentence but agreed to the State’s recommendation of two years and suggested Reyna seek placement in a therapeutic community while incarcerated and, if he demonstrates readiness on release, the court would consider assistance in placement.
Boyd gave Reyna credit for any time already served, advised him of limited appeal rights tied to the revocation proceedings, and warned about the long-term consequences of continued substance use. The court directed deputies to take actions necessary to implement the sentencing and to notify placement coordinators about therapeutic community options for Reyna upon release.
