Judge revokes deferred adjudication for Crystal Colleen Cherry, imposes three‑year prison sentence

The court addressed a motion to revoke community supervision in 2022CR6941 (State v. Crystal Colleen Cherry). The State alleged a violation of condition number four — failure to report to probation for multiple months — and asked the court to find the violation true. Defense counsel urged the court to extend supervision and place Cherry into an intensive cognitive program, noting she had completed residential treatment in the past and had medical issues and ongoing family challenges. Cherry testified she had told probation she was raped and described instability in housing and contact with service providers.

The judge reviewed probation records, prior orders and the violation report, and found this was a repeat failure to report after earlier court‑ordered conditions were provided. On the record the court granted the motion to revoke, found the violation true, and revoked her deferred adjudication. The court sentenced Cherry to three years' imprisonment, with credit for any time served and credit for successful completion of inpatient treatment. The court also requested the therapeutic community to consider her for placement on release and explained that appellate rights were limited to the allegations in the motion.

On the record the judge emphasized the court had tried to provide services previously and expressed concern that Cherry left approved residential supervision without permission. The court explained next steps: counsel and probation will assist in further placement and the defendant’s attorney will advise on parole procedures when applicable.

The judge closed the matter by reiterating the importance of communication with probation and offering to assist with post‑release services if the defendant returns to court.
