The 252nd District Court processed a heavy docket: several defendants pleaded guilty and received probation or prison terms, one defendant had charges dismissed, and others had cases reset for trial or evaluation.

Adrian Hayward pleaded guilty to assault-family-violence by impeding breathing (third-degree felony); the court followed a plea agreement calling for a five-year deferred probation term, a $500 fine and a pre-sentence report before sentencing. The judge reduced Hayward's bond to $1,000 with strict no-contact and firearm-prohibition conditions.

Jalen Hendricks pleaded guilty in two related causes for evading arrest or detention with a motor vehicle; the court accepted plea agreements and ordered concurrent 10-year probated sentences, a $500 fine and 30 days in county jail (credited). The judge emphasized mandatory compliance with probation conditions and ordered mental-health assessment and adherence to any recommended treatment.

Lamone Yeoman faced a motion to revoke probation; after reviewing administrative hearings and the updated pre-sentence report, the court found several counts true and sentenced Yeoman on aggravated assault to an 8-year term and on burglary to a concurrent 2-year state-jail term.

Colton Armstrong pleaded guilty to theft of property (enhanced to a third-degree felony). The court followed a negotiated agreement: a 10-year probated sentence, no fine, $20,000 restitution, and required participation in ISF cognitive programming and the JCDI outpatient aftercare program; the judge also ordered a GED requirement and restricted access to TNT wrecker services as a condition of probation.

Quincy Batley pleaded guilty to unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon and was sentenced to five years in the Texas Department of Corrections; Paul McCorvey pleaded guilty to theft and was placed on four years' probation with $2,500 restitution and community-service obligations. Brandon Dodd's case was dismissed today and he should be released if no other holds exist.

Other matters: multiple defendants (including the defendant identified as Zurich trustee and Romeo Johnson) rejected plea offers and had cases set for trial; the court ordered evaluations and granted a continuance in a case where defense counsel could not meet the client in jail. Probation reports and pre-sentence interviews were ordered in several matters to inform future sentencing.

Court admonitions and procedure: In each plea the court confirmed defendants understood consequences, including waiver of certain appeal rights and the collateral immigration consequences for noncitizens, and routinely read written admonishments on firearm ineligibility when applicable.
