Bexar County courtroom records multiple pleas and sentences; judge expands bond travel radius

A presiding judge in a Bexar County courtroom accepted multiple plea stipulations and announced sentences across several cases, approved a defense request to expand a defendant's bond travel radius for work and set dates for recalls and further hearings.

The court called cases including two cause numbers identified in the record as 20207814 and 202011105 (state v. "Hagen"/"Hagan" as spelled inconsistently in the transcript). The judge conducted plea colloquies, confirmed that defendants had reviewed discovery and plea documents with counsel, and found sufficient evidence to accept stipulations. In one docket the court imposed a five-year prison sentence in the cause number ending in 14 and a concurrent two-year state-jail sentence in the cause number ending in 05, and the judge requested placement in a therapeutic community as part of sentencing consideration.

In the case of Adolf Mendoza (called as state v. Adolf Mendoza), the court followed the parties' plea agreement and sentenced Mendoza to three years in prison, entered an affirmative deadly-weapon finding and ordered no contact with the complainant. Defense counsel urged the court to follow the plea, saying the client had been compliant on bond and was showing `good` progress and willingness to take responsibility.

The court also processed multiple causes for Marcus Butler. After waiving rights and accepting stipulations, the court sentenced Butler under separate cause numbers to county-jail time and fines and to a six-year prison term with a $2,000 fine on a felony count; in other causes the court imposed sentences of 60–61 days in Bexar County Jail with fines ($1,500 and $2,000 as described in the record). The judge credited time served where applicable and ordered concurrent time and fines where indicated.

A courtroom motion to amend bond conditions was raised to permit a defendant to travel for work. The prosecutor stated the state was in agreement, and the court indicated approval to increase the prior 75-mile restriction to 200 miles for work-related travel.

On discovery matters, defense counsel in a separate case (Montgomery) reported missing body-camera footage from CERT team members and an investigator; the court set a recall for an update in approximately three weeks (February 10 as recorded in-session) to allow prosecutors and investigators time to locate or produce the material.

The judge repeatedly reminded defendants of core consequences and limitations tied to plea bargains. As the court explained during plea colloquy: "If you're not a US citizen, by entering into these pleas, you will be deported, denied naturalization, and the right to reentry" (court transcript). The court also outlined ranges of punishment and the limits on the right to appeal under plea-bargain waivers.

The session concluded with scheduling directions and recalls for cases where counsel or defendants were unavailable; deputies were instructed to coordinate transport for in-custody defendants to the next docket.

What happened next: several matters were reset or recalled for dates noted on the record (including the twentieth for multiple dockets and a February 10 status for a discovery update). No jury trials or contested evidentiary hearings were resolved during this portion of the docket; the proceedings recorded here reflect plea-based dispositions, scheduling orders and procedural actions.
