Diego Chavez given five years deferred adjudication with treatment, employment and service conditions
Summary
Diego Chavez received five years of deferred adjudication on Oct. 27, with court-ordered treatment, employment verification and community-service conditions designed to support rehabilitation.
Diego Chavez addressed the court on Oct. 27 and asked for a chance to prove himself. The 187th District Court sentenced Chavez to five years deferred adjudication with several conditions designed to address substance use, employment and family stability.
The court ordered a $1,000 fine, 200 hours of community service (with conditions allowing education or trade certification to satisfy remaining hours), anger-management classes and parenting classes (completion reduces remaining community service), proof of employment within 3045 days, and regular reporting to probation by Zoom or in person. The judge prohibited employment working as a home health care provider or with minors, ordered random UAs and outpatient treatment with the defendant's private provider, and required weekly sober-support meetings for three months.
The court explained the limits on the right to appeal for deferred-adjudication agreements, emphasized the importance of communication with probation officers and the court, and offered to assist with sober-support or transitional housing referrals upon release. The judge also warned Chavez that continued violations could result in revocation and imprisonment.
Actions recorded include acceptance of the deferred-adjudication agreement, imposition of specified conditions, and referrals for outpatient treatment and support services.
