Man accepts deferred adjudication for indecency count; judge imposes decade-long supervision and no-contact with minors
Summary
Javier Herrera entered a no-contest plea to an indecency-by-contact count; the 187th District Court deferred a finding of guilt and placed him on 10 years’ community supervision with conditions including no contact with minors, chapter 62 registration and 180 days in county jail as a probation condition.
In 2021 CR2011, Javier Herrera pleaded no contest to the lesser-included count of indecency with a child by contact and the court deferred a finding of guilt, imposing 10 years deferred adjudication and multiple conditions.
Assistant district attorneys told the court they were proceeding on count 2, and defense counsel confirmed the defendant’s understanding of the plea paperwork. The court found the defendant knowingly and voluntarily waived a jury trial and accepted stipulations into evidence; it deferred adjudication as requested by the defendant.
Court orders and conditions: Judge Stephanie Boyd set a $1,500 fine, 10 years of deferred adjudication, no contact with the complainant, chapter 62 registration, regular in-person reporting, random UAs and a prohibition on residing in or having unsupervised contact with minors. The court ordered a 180-day Bexar County custodial condition as part of probation and a mental-health/treatment evaluation in custody, with field visits once per month. The judge declined to allow the defendant to reside with minors or be employed with minors or in home-health positions.
Why it matters: The count relates to alleged sexual contact with a person who is now an adult; the court noted the complainant is an adult and that the deferred adjudication resolves the case without a formal guilty finding while imposing long-term supervision and registration conditions that carry lifetime reporting implications.
Additional procedural items: Defense requested transfer of supervision to Cheyenne, Wyoming; the judge said transfer is possible but requires acceptance by the receiving jurisdiction. The court accepted victim-impact statements by phone and ordered probation follow-up, including compliance with recommended evaluations.
