Defendant pleads guilty; court sentences to nine months and $800 fine in possession case
Summary
In State v. Jose Cedillo (2026CR001131) the defendant pleaded guilty to a lesser-included possession offense and was sentenced to nine months in the county facility with an $800 fine (probated) and probation conditions including random testing and community service.
The court called 2026CR001131 (State v. Jose Cedillo). Counsel confirmed receipt of discovery and the parties proceeded on a lesser‑included offense: possession of a controlled substance, penalty group 1, less than 1 gram — a state‑jail felony.
The defendant pleaded guilty. The court accepted the plea, noted prior county‑court matters under consideration, and sentenced the defendant to nine months in the Bexar County facility (per local confinement rule referenced by the court), with an $800 fine to be probated. Time and fine were ordered to run concurrently with credit for 137 days already served as appropriate. Probation conditions included regular random UAs, monthly field visits for six months, proof of employment within 45 days, prohibition on working with minors/home‑health care, parenting classes and a TAP evaluation with compliance on referral recommendations.
Defense counsel asked the court to follow the plea agreement and noted this was the defendant's first felony; counsel also requested consideration of probation terms to assist with the defendant's financial situation. The court explained the defendant's rights to appeal were waived consistent with the plea paperwork and advised probation would go over the specific conditions before the defendant was excused.
