A judge in the 187th District Court recalled the case of Caitlin Nicole Jeffrey on a status sent for December 18 after receiving a Mick evaluation that recommended further in‑custody evaluation (referred to in court as a Takami/Takumi evaluation). The evaluation team reported the next available in‑custody appointment as 2026‑03‑31; the court and defense discussed whether an outpatient placement could be arranged if parole continues the defendant.

Defense counsel (Jonathan Alproad) called a witness, Danielle Hart, who identified herself as Jeffrey’s fiancé and described steps the couple says they will take if Jeffrey is released: relocation to San Antonio, work-from-home employment offered by an acquaintance, continued medication management and short-term crisis care at Laurel Ridge. Hart said Jeffrey had stabilized on medication and had support plans in place.

The judge said she would recall the matter on Dec. 18 so she could learn the result of Jeffrey’s parole hearing (scheduled Dec. 10) and review jail medical records showing that Jeffrey is med‑compliant. The judge told counsel she will be “more likely than not” to release Jeffrey for treatment through the Center for Healthcare Services if the parole hearing continues Jeffrey and jail records confirm stability and medication compliance; if not, the judge said she would not release the defendant because a parole hold could prevent transfer.

The judge directed defense counsel to obtain and provide a report from the jail documenting medication compliance and ordered the parties to be prepared to present any parole updates at the Dec. 18 hearing. The court also noted that Takami/Takumi evaluations are required to be done in custody and that scheduling and parole outcomes will be determinative for any placement decision.
