Court finds defendant guilty, imposes four-year prison sentence after crash that injured deputy

The 187th District Court found Camillus Galvan guilty following stipulated evidence and testimony regarding a collision that injured a Bexar County deputy. Judge Stephanie Boyd reviewed the plea paperwork and the state’s exhibits, found sufficient evidence, and imposed a four-year prison sentence.

The court accepted stipulations of testimony and exhibits from the state and heard the defendant’s family testify on his character, medical needs and family circumstances. Family witnesses described Galvan’s role as a caregiver and emphasized his compliance with pretrial supervision and monitoring. Defense counsel urged probation and relocation of supervision to McLennan County, noting the defendant’s ties and employment prospects; the state opposed probation given the seriousness of the deputy’s injuries and the facts captured on video.

After oral argument the court found the stipulated evidence sufficient to convict, noted the victim’s injuries, and imposed a four-year institutional sentence taking into consideration case 2023CR7882. The court also ordered restitution to the victim where appropriate, imposed a $2,000 fine, and advised the defendant about waiver of appeal and weapons prohibitions that accompany felony convictions.

The court retained jurisdiction for sentencing considerations and instructed probation to calculate credit for time served. The transcript shows the judge balanced the defendant’s age and family circumstances against the conduct that led to the deputy’s injuries before imposing the custodial sentence.
