Court orders inpatient DDRF treatment, denies revocation and suspends 10'year term in DWI-related case
Summary
After the defendant pleaded guilty to a DWI-related charge and admitted a probation violation in a related matter, Judge Boyd denied immediate revocation, ordered DDRF inpatient treatment, and suspended a 10-year sentence with extensive probation conditions to run concurrent with related cases.
The 187th District Court addressed multiple related matters involving defendant Daniel Martinez, accepting a plea in a current DWI-related case and resolving a prior deferred adjudication by ordering inpatient DDRF treatment rather than imposing a prison term.
Court records show Martinez entered a plea in the current matter where punishment was agreed to at 10 years. The court then reviewed a separate cause (2022 CR 5114B) and found a admitted probation violation to be true. Facing revocation, Martinez stated he wanted treatment; after considering a TAP evaluation and screenings, the court denied immediate revocation to prison and instead ordered inpatient treatment at DDRF.
Judge Boyd explained options to Martinez and said DDRF is inpatient and that the program would retain him for as long as clinically appropriate. The court then imposed a suspended sentence of 10 years, to run concurrently with the related case, and ordered DDRF transfer from custody. The judge also ordered conditions including 30 days in the Bexar County Jail as a condition of probation (transfer allowed before the full 30 days if DDRF could accept him sooner), ignition interlock for the term, a two'year driver's license suspension, 250 community service hours, regular random UAs, referral to felony drug court and BIP/DWI education.
The court told Martinez it would consider the defendant's proactive steps—such as GED and classes in custody—and explicitly set the DDRF placement as the chosen alternative to immediate incarceration.
Probation and the defense waived a presentence investigation in the DWI case; probation will supervise compliance, and the court directed jail staff to hold Martinez in custody until DDRF transfer arrangements were made.
Judge Boyd concluded by reminding Martinez that compliance with mental health and substance use treatment was essential to remain on probation and avoid revocation to prison.
