Docket outcomes: bond settings, pleas and sentences entered in 187th District Court
Summary
The 187th District Court recorded several formal outcomes: bonds set, pleas entered and sentences imposed. The court set a $5,000 bond for one defendant, accepted pleas and imposed custodial terms in several matters and set future dates for contested hearings and sentencing.
Judge Stephanie Boyd presided over a docket in which the court set bonds, accepted pleas and entered sentences in multiple cases.
Votes at a glance: Alexis Rodriguez — bond set at $5,000 with regular UAs (fees waived) and a condition of 60 sober meetings in 60 days; Elueterio (Electerio) Espinosa — pleaded and was sentenced under a plea agreement to one year in a state jail facility and a $1,000 fine (to run concurrent with a related case); Juan Carlos Castellanos (case numbers listed on the record) — bonds set at $7,500 in each of two cases with a no-contact condition as agreed by the parties; Raymond Garza — accepted plea and sentenced to three years in prison with a $1,500 fine and a no-contact order; Luis Alberto De Leon — court accepted a plea to the lesser-included offense of indecent assault and deferred a finding of guilt; the court ordered recommended conditions for deferred adjudication, including community-service and program referrals.
Court statements and rulings recorded on the docket also set contested hearings or follow-up dates on several matters: multiple contested hearings were scheduled for March dates, some cases were continued to allow discovery or witness availability, and others were given plea deadlines.
Several matters were continued or set for future review: Timothy Zapata’s case was set for a March 3 sentencing hearing after a guilty plea, and multiple discovery resets were ordered (for example, Amber Salazar was recalled to the February 27 docket for a plea decision). The court also noted missing discovery items in some files (body-camera footage was requested in one case) and arranged short resets so attorneys and the state could confer.
The court recorded each disposition on the record, with defense counsel and prosecutors announcing the agreements and the judge imposing the terms described above. Where the record shows a program referral or probation condition, the court instructed probation to make referrals or arrange evaluations and set return dates to verify compliance.
