A Bexar County judge found Dylan Tennyson Smith in violation of the conditions of his deferred adjudication and sentenced him to six years in prison on Monday.
During a revocation hearing the state presented testimony from Callie Jones, an assistant probation officer with the Bexar County Adult Probation Office, who said probation records showed Smith had not completed the court-ordered 150 hours of community-service restitution and had not completed an amended requirement to register for and attend a “stress education” program. Jones testified that records dating to 2023 and messaging in probation chronologies showed outstanding requirements and that the office lacked verification that Smith completed the hours or the class.
Defense counsel argued the probation file lacked up-to-date documentation from the courtesy-supervising agency in Hood County, which had overseen Smith for part of the period at issue, and asked the court to continue the matter so the defense could obtain clearer records. The defense noted Smith had been incarcerated in Hood County and said those circumstances limited his ability to complete programs.
After hearing argument, the judge announced: “The court is finding violation of conditions 13 and 28 true.” The court adjudicated Smith guilty, revoked deferred adjudication and imposed a six-year prison sentence, with credit for time served. The judge told Smith he retained limited appeal rights as to the motion to revoke.
The judge also ordered no contact with two named individuals and recorded that there was no restitution pending on fees. The court directed probation and the parties to follow standard administrative procedures for transmission of records and noted that verification of compliance should be documented in the probation file going forward.
The next procedural step is the court’s entry of the written order reflecting the adjudication and sentence; the record shows the court made the finding and pronounced the sentence on the record at the hearing.
