Judge Boyd defers finding of guilt for Nathan Montoya under plea agreement; court imposes conditions including registration and fine
Summary
Nathan Tyler Montoya pleaded no contest to a lesser-included offense and the court deferred adjudication under a plea agreement with a seven-year cap and $1,500 fine; chapter 62 registration and no contact with the complainant were ordered.
Nathan Tyler Montoya entered a no-contest plea to a reduced charge in the 187th District Court and the court deferred a finding of guilt, Judge Stephanie Boyd said, accepting the plea agreement presented by the parties.
According to court remarks, the plea called for a cap on punishment of seven years and a $1,500 fine. The judge ordered that the sentence run concurrently with a related county-court case and that Montoya comply with chapter 62 registration requirements and have no contact with the complainant.
Court records show the TAP evaluation and PSI were reviewed and accepted by both parties without objection. The judge acknowledged the defendant’s statement accepting responsibility and noted the possibility of therapeutic-community placement, directing that appropriate recommendations be pursued by probation if Montoya qualified.
The court ordered standard supervision conditions including reporting (by Zoom or in person), random drug testing, proof of employment and compliance with any TAP recommendations. The court also required chapter 62 registration and specified the financial penalty and concurrent disposition with the related county-court cause.
The judge advised Montoya of the waiver of appeal that accompanies a plea-bargain agreement and told him to follow probation terms to avoid revocation.
