Docket shows pattern of plea deadlines, discovery resets and TAP/mental-health evaluations
Summary
The day’s docket included numerous plea-deadline settings, discovery resets (commonly 2–6 weeks), multiple applications for deferred adjudication, and repeated orders for TAP or mental-health evaluations in custody for defendants with homelessness or substance-use concerns.
Throughout the docket call, Judge Boyd set many plea deadlines and short resets for discovery across multiple cases and ordered TAP and mental-health evaluations where treatment or homelessness appeared to be concerns. The court repeatedly instructed counsel and defendants to confer with probation and the state before seeking resets or approaching the bench, and routinely required proof of employment when work hours were to be exempted from curfew or GPS conditions.
Examples from the docket include multiple 2-week resets for disposition (typical plea-deadline windows), 45-day resets for contested hearings, and several orders scheduling TAP or mental-health evaluations in custody (with estimated turnaround of several weeks). The rhythm of the docket emphasized treatment and supervision conditions over automatic revocation in numerous matters.
