Court revokes deferred adjudication, sends Mandy Wallace to state jail with treatment recommendation
Summary
Mandy Aileen Wallace pleaded true to violations; the court found the violations true, revoked deferred adjudication, and sentenced her to 10 months in a state-jail facility with restitution and treatment recommendations including TAP evaluation and therapeutic community referral.
Mandy Aileen Wallace appeared and pleaded true to violations of her deferred adjudication. The state noted the violations and proposed an agreement calling for custody time. The judge discussed options, including a TAP evaluation and potential inpatient recommendations, and expressed concern about the defendant's substance use and mental-health needs.
Ultimately the court found violations true, revoked deferred adjudication, and sentenced Wallace to 10 months in a state-jail facility to run concurrently on the counts covered by the violations. The judge ordered restitution of $245.21 to Frost Bank, no contact with a named individual, restrictions on contact with minors and residence with minors, and recommended a TAP mental-health evaluation with follow-up on recommendations. "I don't think that's really gonna help you," the judge said when discussing a short custodial alternative, explaining the court wanted treatment-focused options when appropriate. The court noted the defendant waived the right to appeal and reviewed required certifications with counsel before concluding the matter.
