Defendant Martin Mendez admits violations; judge grants revocation and sentences him to three years

The court in a Bexar County docket called State v. Martin Mendez (2019 CR13071) and recorded the defendant’s change of plea on alleged supervision violations. Martin Mendez answered “true” when asked about violations of conditions 5, 9(a) and 40, and the state asked the court to grant its motion to revoke community supervision.

The presiding judge told the court, “The court will follow your agreement,” after the state and defense confirmed a proposed disposition. The judge announced she would grant the motion to revoke, sentence Mendez to three years in prison, suspend his driver’s license for two years and impose a $1,000 fine; credit for time served was also ordered.

Why it matters: A revocation and prison sentence ends the community-supervision status the defendant had since 2019 and replaces the previously imposed supervision conditions with an executed custodial term and collateral consequences (license suspension and a fine).

Details and process: The state summarized the violations and proposed the three-year term; defense counsel indicated agreement and the defendant waived appeal rights on the plea certification. The judge explained the consequences of pleading true to the violations, including that the court could revoke supervision and impose up to three years’ imprisonment, and confirmed Mendez understood those consequences before accepting the plea.

Next steps: The court ordered that the dismissal in the related matter be taken to the appropriate court and instructed counsel to file necessary paperwork. The case proceeded with the announced sentence and the defendant was given credit for any time already served.
