Judge sentences Eric Reyes under plea deal; GPS, ignition interlock and treatment ordered
Summary
Eric Reyes pleaded under a plea agreement and received a four-year community-supervision cap with multiple conditions including partial GPS in lieu of short jail time, ignition interlock for part of the term, program referrals and sober-meeting requirements.
The 187th District Court accepted a plea and imposed supervision conditions for Eric Reyes in a felony DWI matter.
Judge Stephanie Boyd accepted the negotiated plea with punishment capped at four years and ordered community supervision. The court explained possible alternatives for short jail time, given local jail capacity: the defendant could serve 10 days in the Bexar County Jail or be placed on partial GPS for employment for 20 days; Reyes agreed to pay for GPS privately.
The court ordered ignition interlock for half the term, a TAP evaluation with follow-up recommendations, DWI education, BIP Live participation, and a requirement to attend sober-support meetings (the court ordered 90 sober meetings in 90 days for this case). It also ordered 120 hours of community-service restitution (with buyout options at a statutory rate) and monthly field visits for four months.
Judge Boyd emphasized that probation compliance and communication are critical for success on supervision and reiterated that a felony conviction carries weapon-possession restrictions. The court set GPS installation to be completed within five days if possible and directed probation to coordinate the logistics and costs with the defendant.
