Andrew Silva pleads to lesser offense; court sentences him to 180 days in jail and orders no contact with specified address
Summary
Andrew Silva pleaded guilty to a lesser‑included offense (attempted terroristic threat/placing public in fear); the court accepted the plea and sentenced him to 180 days in the Bexar County Jail and ordered no contact with 1818 South New Braunfels Ave.
The court accepted a guilty plea from Andrew Silva to a lesser‑included offense — characterized in court as attempted terroristic threat/placing the public in fear — and imposed a 180‑day sentence in the Bexar County Jail.
Defense counsel David McLean confirmed he had reviewed discovery with his client and did not object to the state's exhibits. The court reviewed admonishments and plea paperwork with the defendant, who acknowledged the waiver of indictment reading and the waiver of certain rights. The court found the exhibits sufficient, accepted the plea, and pronounced a 180‑day sentence, with credit for any time served, and ordered no contact with the address identified in the record (1818 South New Braunfels Ave., 78210). The court reminded the defendant of limited appeal rights and the collateral consequences that follow a felony conviction, including restrictions on weapons possession.
