Judge revokes deferred adjudication, sentences Victor Manuel Mendoza to six years after probation violations
Summary
In 187th District Court, Judge Stephanie Boyd found Victor Manuel Mendoza in violation of his deferred adjudication, adjudicated him guilty and sentenced him to six years in prison after the state presented a motion to revoke and the defendant pleaded true to one violation.
Judge Stephanie Boyd revoked the deferred adjudication of Victor Manuel Mendoza and sentenced him to six years in prison after a prosecutor told the court Mendoza committed criminal trespass while on supervision.
The court convened in the 187th District Court for the hearing on the State’s motion to enter adjudication of guilt and revoke community supervision in cause number 2022CR9447. The state alleged Mendoza violated condition number 1 by committing criminal trespass in January 2025; Mendoza pleaded “true” to that allegation. The judge told Mendoza he faced up to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000 on a true finding.
The state asked the court to adjudicate Mendoza guilty and sentence him to six years in prison, saying this was the third motion to revoke filed against him and that probation’s interventions had not redirected his behavior. Defense counsel asked the court to consider mitigation, saying Mendoza has a severe stuttering condition, family responsibilities and recent bereavement, and noting Mendoza had accrued jail credits and successful in‑custody treatment time they asked the court to consider when imposing sentence.
Judge Boyd said she considered the record, including Mendoza’s criminal trespass and other reported offenses, and made an affirmative finding of a deadly weapon in the case. The judge ordered Mendoza adjudicated guilty, revoked community supervision and sentenced him to six years in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. The court said it would give Mendoza credit for time served and for completed in‑custody programs, as reflected in the hearing record.
The court also informed Mendoza he had a limited right to appeal only as to pretrial motions that had been filed, heard and ruled upon, and warned that as a felony conviction he is prohibited from owning or possessing weapons or ammunition.
The judge read the sentencing and appellate admonishments in court and confirmed Mendoza had reviewed the documents with counsel before the court accepted the plea and imposed sentence.
