A Bexar County criminal docket call on Dec. 8 produced a series of plea acceptances, scheduling orders and one immediate sentencing.

The presiding judge (unnamed in the transcript) heard multiple matters, including State v. Vedencio Gonzalez, where the state waived count 1 and proceeded on count 2 (injury to a child/elderly/disabled as a third‑degree felony). The court accepted the state's exhibits and, because the defendant applied for deferred adjudication, deferred a formal finding of guilt while ordering pre‑sentence investigation work; a PSI date was set for February. The judge told the courtroom she would consider any timely motions to exclude newly disclosed material after counsel has reviewed it.

In State v. Jesse Emmanuel Garza, the defendant pleaded no contest to terroristic threats (allegations included a threat against an HEB store). The state recommended deferred adjudication with a $1,000 fine and a package of recommended conditions: up to five years' community supervision, a TAP evaluation, 150 hours of community service (or restitution), mental‑health evaluation and stress‑education, no contact with named complainants or the store, limits on employment involving minors or home‑health care, regular reporting (Zoom or in person) and random UAs. The court accepted the stipulations and noted terms including monthly field visits; GPS fees were waived where applicable.

In the attempted‑murder prosecution of Jesus Prado, defense counsel moved to quash certain materials and sought an in‑camera review. After inspecting submitted discs, the judge denied the motion as to the homicide interview, multiple officer body‑cam recordings and other items already in discovery, but granted the motion to quash a discrete internal‑affairs disc identified in the record as AI2023‑1947RL. The judge said she could revisit that ruling if the disc later proved relevant. The court confirmed a jury trial date (December 8) for the matter's contested proceedings.

Separately, the court accepted a plea to a lesser‑included offense and imposed sentence in State v. Felix Sebastian Beltran Jr., who pleaded to deadly conduct with a firearm (third‑degree felony). The court sentenced Beltran to four years in prison and advised him of collateral consequences, including loss of weapons rights.

Throughout the docket the judge emphasized orderly procedure and timing — including the state's right to notice in cases where a not‑guilty‑by‑reason‑of‑insanity defense is raised — and asked witnesses and officers to remain available for follow‑up testimony where necessary.

Quotes and key procedural notes were limited to in‑court statements. The judge repeatedly stated that she preferred not to rush contested matters to avoid appellate problems; in one exchange she instructed, “I’m gonna recall it for tomorrow,” when late filings or additional review were needed. Defense counsel (unnamed in the transcript) said of a forthcoming filing, “We are going to file notice before leaving court today.” Officer R. McKinney — who identified himself on the record as an officer with the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office — was instructed to be on standby if the state needed him to testify by Zoom.

Next steps: several matters were reset for further hearings or PSI work; the Prado trial remains scheduled, and other defendants will return on the court’s reset dates to address outstanding discovery and evaluations.
