Judge Boyd sets May 20 compliance hearing; defendant must obtain driver's license within 60 days
Summary
The court continued Israel Moncada's case to a compliance hearing on May 20 and ordered intensive supervision and conditions including obtaining a Texas driver's license within 60 days as part of the agreement to withdraw a motion to revoke.
At a compliance hearing in the 187th District Court, Judge Stephanie Boyd set a Zoom compliance hearing for May 20 and directed defendant Israel Moncada to obtain a Texas driver's license within 60 days as part of a negotiated resolution to withdraw a motion to revoke community supervision.
The court record shows the state agreed to withdraw the motion to revoke after probation and defense outlined an amended plan that would continue Moncada on probation with intensive supervision and supportive outpatient treatment, and require him to obtain a valid license within 60 days.
Judge Boyd reviewed Moncada's prior compliance requirements, noted earlier orders to attend sober meetings and other conditions and asked Moncada directly if he could get a license within 60 days. Moncada responded, “Certainly. Yes, Your Honor.”
Defense counsel told the court Moncada had attended some required sober meetings and had scheduled DMV appointments; the defendant said he had financial barriers and outstanding traffic fines that delayed obtaining his license. Probation recommended a compliance reset rather than revocation, and the state said it would file a negative delay on the withdrawn allegation.
Judge Boyd instructed defense counsel to call DMV offices and attempt to move any appointments earlier to help Moncada meet the 60'day requirement. The judge noted she often allows remote compliance hearings by Zoom and set May 20 as the date the court will review whether Moncada has a license and has met other conditions.
The court also directed that Moncada's reporting could continue by Zoom, that he remain on intensive supervision, and that probation complete a reset form for the May 20 compliance hearing.
If Moncada is not accepted into an out'of'county veterans program that he prefers, the judge made clear he must remain under this court's supervision: "If he is not accepted in Veterans Treatment Court in Austin, he's not going to be in Austin. He's going to be here," the judge said, recounting earlier case logistics.
The court did not revoke community supervision at the hearing and withdrew the motion to revoke contingent on Moncada meeting the specific conditions ordered.
