Presiding judge sets conditions, revokes supervision and schedules plea dates during morning docket

The presiding judge convened a morning docket and called cases, set supervisory conditions in one matter, revoked community supervision and imposed an 18‑month state‑jail sentence in another, and scheduled numerous plea deadlines and resets before taking recess.

In one case the court withdrew a pending motion and ordered a defendant to pay at least $100 per month toward $608.82 in restitution, to provide proof of employment within 30 days, to avoid firearms possession and to refrain from working as a home‑health caregiver with minors. The judge told the defendant, “There’s to be no possession of firearms, and you’re to provide proof of employment within 30 days of release,” and warned the defendant of the applicable punishment range.

Later the court addressed a motion to revoke community supervision. The court announced, “The court is finding violation of condition number 5 true,” granted the state’s motion to revoke and sentenced the defendant to 18 months in a state‑jail facility, with credit for time served. The court also ordered restitution of $57 to the San Antonio Police Department for drug testing and directed that the defendant have no unsupervised contact with minors.

Throughout the docket the court routinely set plea‑deadline and discovery‑reset dates, repeatedly asking defense counsel whether they had received discovery and instructing the clerk to place plea deadlines 30–60 days out when needed. Multiple defendants had plea deadlines or reset dates set for April 6, April 27 or May 4, depending on the case and outstanding discovery.

A non‑case exchange during the morning included a participant’s account of threats and verbal abuse at polling sites during a recent election; the participant said they required security to leave the polling location and to travel home. The remark was personal testimony rather than a court finding.

The court recessed and instructed everyone to return at 1:30 p.m.
