Court finds violation and refers Kendall Lamar Woodard to felony drug court
Summary
After finding a probation violation true, the court referred Kendall Lamar Woodard to felony drug court and set a recall/sentencing hearing for early July to allow screening and a TAP evaluation; if not accepted, the court indicated a five‑year TDC sentence could follow.
The judge found that Kendall Lamar Woodard had violated condition number four and discussed sentencing options in 2025 CR 00005807. The court described two paths: follow a proposed five-year Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDC) sentence if the defendant is revoked, or refer the defendant to felony drug court after a TAP evaluation in custody, pending the program’s acceptance.
The judge ordered probation and court staff to coordinate with felony drug court and set a recall/sentencing setting for July 6 so the court can learn whether felony drug court will accept the defendant. The court told defense counsel to confer with probation about referrals and to file the necessary paperwork to facilitate screening.
The court noted that felony drug court may decline acceptance because of open cases, but instructed counsel and probation to attempt a referral and to report back; if felony drug court does not accept the defendant, the previously discussed five-year TDC sentence remains a possible outcome. The judge emphasized the defendant’s homelessness and substance-use history as factors informing the referral and potential disposition.
