Defendant Toby McKee receives two-year deferred adjudication, probation terms set
Summary
In Bexar County court, defendant Toby McKee pleaded no contest to a state-jail-felony charge and was placed on two years deferred adjudication with probation conditions including a $2,000 probated fine, 200 hours community service, regular UAs and referrals for housing services.
Judge Stephanie Boyd, 187th District, accepted a no-contest plea from defendant Toby McKee and placed him on two years of deferred adjudication during a Bexar County court proceeding. The state charged McKee with terroristic threat against a peace officer, a state-jail felony, with a statutory punishment range the judge described as 180 days to two years in a state jail facility and a fine up to $10,000.
The plea hearing included a colloquy in which the court confirmed that McKee had reviewed discovery and plea paperwork with counsel and that he understood waiver of jury trial and the rights relinquished by entering the plea. McKee responded in court, "Yes, ma'am," when asked whether he understood the plea and its consequences.
The court accepted the state’s recommendation of deferred adjudication and outlined probation conditions: a $2,000 fine (probated), 200 hours of community-service restitution, a term of community supervision of two years, regular random urinalysis testing, monthly field visits for three months, proof of employment or SSI within 60 days, and restrictions forbidding employment as a home-health worker or work involving minors. The court also ordered no contact with the San Antonio Riverwalk and asked probation to seek a referral to Haven for Hope for housing services.
Defense counsel requested a reduced number of community service hours and probation fees; the judge probated the fine and set the community-service requirement at 200 hours, noting completion of anger-management counseling could satisfy that obligation. The court explained that, if McKee’s deferred adjudication is revoked, the range of punishment could include confinement up to two years and fines up to $10,000 — language the judge repeated during the admonishment portion of the hearing.
The court recorded additional conditions and instructions: reporting requirements (Zoom or in-person as directed), random UAs, and a prohibition on certain employment categories. The judge told McKee to stay in contact with probation and said the court would assist with a transfer of supervision if family circumstances later warranted it. The judge closed the matter by noting that early completion of conditions could shorten the supervision period.
Ending: The hearing concluded with the court scheduling follow-up monitoring through probation; no further sentencing was imposed beyond the deferred adjudication and its specified conditions.
