Judge accepts plea, sentences Jesus Rodriguez to 80 days in Bexar County Jail
Summary
In case 2025CR014051, the court accepted written stipulations and a waiver of appeal, found sufficient evidence, and sentenced Jesus Rodriguez to 80 days in jail, imposed an $800 fine (crediting time served), appointed new counsel, and reset discovery to March 5.
A judge in the 187th District Court accepted a defendant’s written stipulation and waiver of appeal and sentenced Jesus Rodriguez to 80 days in the Bexar County Jail and an $800 fine, the court record shows.
The judge told Rodriguez that by signing the waiver he was “waiving your right to appeal” and that the only matters subject to appeal would be written pretrial motions that had been filed, heard and ruled upon. The court accepted the state’s Exhibit 1 and attachments as stipulated evidence, found that evidence sufficient, and entered a guilty finding.
The judge imposed an 80-day jail term and directed the clerk to give Rodriguez credit for time already served. “Time and money run concurrently,” the judge said, and the judgment will be shown as satisfied. The judge also told Rodriguez, “Because this is a felony conviction, you're not allowed to own or possess any weapons or ammunition.”
After sentencing, the judge spoke off the record about the defendant’s substance use: “If you don't get control of this drug problem you have or get sober, only one or two things are going to happen. Either you're going to end up at the Bexar County Jail or at somebody's prison, or somebody's going to be called down to identify your body because the last time you use may be the last time you use.” The court offered to assist in arranging appropriate placement or treatment when Rodriguez is released.
At the hearing the defendant confirmed his name as Jesus Rodriguez and counsel announced appearances for the record. The court noted that the defendant’s prior attorney, Attorney Ramirez, had been recalled but was unavailable due to travel and weather; Rodriguez requested appointment of new counsel and the court appointed Lindsay Shaw to represent him without objection.
Defense counsel requested a 30-day reset for discovery; the court set the next date for March 5 and acknowledged the state would provide discovery materials for the indicted case. The court closed the matter and moved on to the remaining docket items.
Case number: 2025CR014051. The transcript does not identify the prosecuting attorney by name in the record provided. The defendant acknowledged reviewing and signing the trial court certification of defendant’s rights to appeal at the hearing.
