Judge Stephanie Boyd presided over multiple contested supervision and revocation matters, adjudicating guilt and imposing prison terms in several cases while ordering treatment or testing in others.
In cause 2019‑7765, Angel Joel Varela pleaded true to a probation violation alleging aggravated driving under the influence. The court granted the state's motion, adjudicated guilt, revoked community supervision and sentenced Varela to three years in the Texas Department of Corrections, with an affirmative family‑violence finding, a $1,500 fine, and conditions prohibiting contact with a named person and unsupervised contact with minors.
In a separate revocation matter the court found violation of condition number 1 true for Enrique Soriano (2024CR3163) and sentenced him to four years in prison; the court recommended placement in a therapeutic community and ordered a two‑year license suspension and restrictions on minors and residence placement.
Other matters produced supervisory outcomes rather than immediate incarceration: the court found violations against Michael Joseph Mora but, after discussion of mental‑health issues and the probation officer’s recommendation, ordered drug testing and directed that the defendant be evaluated for mental‑health services and supervised by the appropriate treatment unit. Several dockets produced sentences that ran concurrently with other cause numbers or were conditioned on participation in therapeutic programs.
Judge Boyd regularly reminded defendants that adjudications and revocations carry collateral consequences (loss of firearm rights, appellate‑waiver language in plea documents) and emphasized credit for time served when applicable.
