Court grants deferred adjudication to Michael Igu with probation conditions
Summary
A defendant identified in court as Michael Igu (spelled and corrected in court record) pleaded no contest and received deferred adjudication with probation conditions including a $1,500 fine and restitution.
A defendant identified in the 187th District Court as Michael Igu entered a plea and received deferred adjudication with court‑ordered conditions, the judge said in open court.
The court accepted Igu’s plea and granted deferred adjudication for a term set by the plea agreement. The record shows the judge imposed a $1,500 fine (to be probated), ordered 200 hours of community service and restitution of $250, among other conditions. The court ordered anger‑management programming, regular reporting to probation and random drug testing, and limited certain employment types while on supervision.
Defense counsel confirmed the defendant had reviewed discovery and the written plea paperwork. The prosecutor presented the plea agreement and the state’s recommended terms; the court explained to the defendant the rights being waived by a plea and the potential consequences if deferred adjudication is later revoked.
The court entered the resulting deferred adjudication order and informed the defendant of the narrow scope of any appeal given the plea bargain. The judge also cautioned that, because the disposition involved a felony-level allegation, statutory restrictions would apply if the defendant is later convicted.
The defendant’s name was corrected in court records before sentencing to reflect the proper spelling; the clerk was instructed to update the case file.
