Judge grants deferred adjudication in De Leon plea; court imposes conditions including surrender of TCO license and no-home-entry rule

A defendant in Bexar County, Luis Alberto De Leon Jr., entered a no-contest plea to indecency assault in case 2024CR3774 and the court granted deferred adjudication, setting detailed probation conditions the judge said were necessary for supervision and public safety.

Why it matters: Deferred adjudication allows the prosecution and defense to avoid an adjudication of guilt on the condition the defendant meets terms set by the court. In this case the judge attached occupation-related limits and reporting requirements intended to reduce risk to the public.

Court disposition and conditions: The court announced a two-year deferred adjudication disposition. Conditions the judge listed in open court included a $1,000 fine that will be probated; completion of MRT and an AIDS-awareness course; permanent surrender of De Leon’s TCO license; no contact with the complainant; regular reporting (by Zoom or in person) and random urinalysis; proof of employment within 30 days; a prohibition on employment in home-health care or with minors; monthly field visits for three months; 180 hours of community-service restitution; and parenting classes (completion of which the court said would satisfy the community-service requirement).

Occupation restriction: The court made a specific employment-related limitation a condition of supervision: if De Leon’s occupation required entering private homes, he must notify the occupant and his employer of his charges before entering. The judge explained that failure to comply could prompt a motion to revoke probation.

Defendant’s statements: De Leon answered questions on the record regarding his employment and acknowledged understanding the conditions and consequences; he affirmed his plea and waived the right to appeal under the plea agreement, the court noted.

Next steps: The court accepted the plea, placed the defendant on deferred adjudication with the conditions specified, and advised the defendant he lacked the court’s permission to appeal under the terms of the plea bargain. Probation will monitor compliance and may file revocation motions if conditions are breached.
