187th District Court sentences Alfredo Guzman to 10 years probation, orders GPS and treatment conditions

The 187th District Court accepted a plea and sentenced Alfredo Guadalupe Guzman III after the parties presented a plea agreement and factual basis.

Judge Stephanie Boyd suspended a 10-year sentence and placed Guzman on community supervision for a 10-year term. The court imposed a $2,000 fine, a two-year driver's license suspension, ignition interlock for a period to be determined (the court said it would consider half the term in later discussion), and ordered a TAP evaluation and DWI-related programming.

Because of jail overcrowding and health concerns at the Bexar County Jail, the court offered partial GPS monitoring for employment in lieu of 10 days in county jail. Guzman chose paid GPS; the court set the GPS installation window at five days when possible. The court also ordered 200 hours of community-service restitution, with 100 hours deductible for parenting classes and another 100-hour deduction tied to completion of a defensive-driving course. The judge additionally ordered 120 sober support meetings in 120 days and monthly field visits for four months.

Probation was directed to coordinate TAP evaluation and a referral to felony drug court if recommended; the court said it would consider inpatient treatment if TAP recommended it. The court recalled a separate warrant in this matter and clarified terms about employment restrictions: Guzman may not work as a home health care provider or in positions working with minors while under probation.

The judge advised Guzman that probation success relies on communication with probation officers and compliance with testing and reporting. The court instructed probation to schedule GPS and provide fit-out and reporting instructions, noting the defendant would be responsible for GPS fees if he elected that option.
