Loading...
Summary
Johnny Ruiz Jr. waived indictment reading, agreed to application for community supervision and the court set a pre-sentence investigation (PSI) date for March 25 after accepting his application for deferred adjudication.
Johnny Ruiz Jr. appeared in 187th District Court and, through counsel, waived the reading of the indictment and confirmed understanding of his rights and plea documents. He applied for deferred adjudication on a felony charge of collision involving death; the court accepted the application and found sufficient evidence to defer findings of guilt.
The judge set a presentence investigation (PSI) date of March 25 to inform the court’s ultimate disposition decision. Defense counsel confirmed readiness to proceed and the court instructed parties that if no agreement is reached by the plea-deadline date, the case will proceed to jury trial.
The court advised Ruiz of the statutory sentencing ranges and the consequences of deferred adjudication should it later be revoked. The judge instructed probation and counsel to coordinate and directed the clerk to set the PSI and update docket entries accordingly.
