Summary

Jesus Aras Mendez entered "no contest" pleas in multiple cause numbers; the court accepted stipulations, found enhancements true, ordered concurrent 8‑year sentences, fines and restitution including $7,801 to EZPawn and $2,638.61 to the city of San Antonio.

A Bexar County court accepted "no contest" pleas Tuesday from Jesus Aras Mendez in a string of felony cases and imposed concurrent sentences and restitution, the court record shows.

Presiding (courtroom voice) canvassed Mendez about discovery, the waiver of indictment and rights under Articles 1.051 and 26.03 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure; the defendant acknowledged reviewing the documents and signed the necessary waivers. On the record, Mendez responded "No contest" to several cause numbers. The court accepted stipulated testimony and state's exhibits as evidence and found the enhancements true based on the plea and the exhibits.

The court announced concurrent terms of eight years in prison on the applicable causes, with monetary fines of $1,000 assessed for most counts and one fine of $1,200 on an identified count. Restitution was ordered as follows: $7,801 to EZPawn (cause ending in 37), $4,617.30 to James Avery (cause ending in 14), and $2,638.61 to the City of San Antonio (cause ending in 38). The court also referenced potential restitution to Cash America Pawn where appropriate and ordered no-contact conditions with identified businesses and addresses, including Cash America Pawn at 6411 Northwest Loop 410 and Public Storage at 9106 Ingram Road.

The court advised Mendez that because these are felony convictions he is disqualified from owning or possessing weapons or ammunition and that, if not a U.S. citizen, a plea may affect immigration status. Defense counsel confirmed the client has been in custody approximately 82 days and that credit for time served would be applied toward the sentences. The court noted that the plea does not bind it; if the court imposes a greater sentence than bargained for, the defendant would have the ability to withdraw the plea.

The proceedings covered multiple cause numbers (including 2026CR001637, 2026CR000414, 2026CR001639, 2026CR001643 and related dockets).
