Summary
The 187th District Court accepted a recommendation to terminate the probation of Alexander Rangel after reviewing his service, treatment participation and completion of conditions and directed Veterans Treatment Court representatives to ensure a smooth transition to community resources.
Judge Stephanie Boyd of the 187th District Court accepted a recommendation to terminate probation for Alexander Rangel after reviewing his probation record, military service and completion of conditions, and she requested Veterans Treatment Court follow-up to coordinate post-probation services.
The court noted Rangel’s service in the Army, his participation in recovery programs and compliance with probation conditions. Prosecutors and probation recommended terminating Rangel’s supervision as satisfactorily completed. Boyd said she was “inclined to follow the agreement, mainly because of your service to the country,” but asked Veterans Treatment Court staff to meet Rangel in court so the program could provide contact information and a clear transition plan before the termination took effect.
After Veterans Treatment Court personnel confirmed they could offer face-to-face contact and resources (though noting staffing and orientation constraints), the judge granted termination and marked it satisfactory. She urged Rangel to maintain contact with treatment providers and probation as needed and encouraged him to use the programs available to him.
Probation and Veterans Treatment Court staff will follow up to confirm referrals, enrollment options and contact details; the court said it would ensure a smooth handoff to maintain continuity of care following termination of community supervision.
