In criminal court proceedings, defendants must understand that plea bargain agreements involve giving up constitutional rights including the right to trial, right to compel witnesses, and right to appeal, while accepting specific conditions such as completing courses, community service, and avoiding certain activities; failure to comply with these conditions can result in bond revocation, additional charges, and potential jail time, making it essential for defendants to carefully consider the long-term consequences of their decisions.

Cruz Ortega, come up.
I haven't been able to speak to the attorney to let him know that I >> contacted him, emailed them.
>> I get it. So, the thing is this is that you have an open felony warrant for continuous family violence. I cannot let you go. If I were to let you go now, I'll get in trouble. Deputies get in trouble. It would be a huge mess. I can't do that. So, the only way something can happen is if you go get a deputy from the 209 and they come down to get her and escort her upstairs.
That's something. But I'm going to tell you now that she's on bond for a case here. If she's picked up a new case, especially with the same complainting witness, we will have issues. But I'm not going to do anything until that court, you know, finds probable cause.
I'm not going to revoke the bond here until she's formally been found with, you know, probable cause. So, okay.

>> Okay.
>> Okay. If it's not done in a week, let them know it gets rolled day for day.
Okay.
>> Got it.
>> Okay. Thanks, Dave.
>> Take care.
>> Hi. You ready?
What's the last name?
>> Last name is >> Eugene O E J E G.
>> I see it.
>> Okay.
>> We're opposed, judge. Reason being, um, if I'm reading the code correctly, I'm not great at reading, but what I'm looking at, >> I'm with you. is 411 uh.0728 uh C2. So there's an exception of course for these types of charges, prostitution charges, um if they are done essentially as a victim of human trafficking, which I'm not going to dispute that. Um the problem we have subsection C2 prohibits a non-disclosure on these types of charges if the person picks up another offense. It lists a number of offenses which includes theft offenses. um she was put on a deferred adjudication in Chambers County for a theft in 2020.
So because of that non because of that charge, I don't believe the court is able to grant her non-disclosure on this charge.
>> Do you know the disposition on there?
>> Uh last I saw it was just deferred. I didn't see there was any kind of final resolution that was finished or misdemeanor.
>> It was a misdemeanor.
>> Misdemeanor.
>> Thank you.
Tell me your response, >> please.
>> From my understanding of the statute, those crimes, prostitution, death, possession, they're all grouped together as far as victims of human trafficking would have to be under those circumstances. Um, the charges she has in Jefferson was a missing C. And you were also going to find a >> class Wait, wait, wait. Are you is it a class C or class B?
>> Class B >> for Jefferson. She's mentioning the chamber.
>> Oh, so she has multiple cases.
>> So we're following the non disclosure for that. I didn't file them all together since there.
>> How many cases has she picked up since then?
>> So since this conviction in 2014, she has had uh in Bowmont a possession of marijuana charge she was convicted of in 2017. Was a misdemeanor amount. Yeah.
>> Um, there was >> that in Chambers County.
I think that was I think that's all I see. There were some other like they called in charges, but they >> So, how do you get by the fact that she's picked up at least three different cases, right?
>> Well, the distance in time and also that it was >> Does the code say the distance in time makes it makes her eligible? No. So the fact that they gave her the chambers, they didn't qualify for that one. It would not under that specific statute. I filed with 41328 in Paris County. Um was specifically because the prosecution is the one that's been causing the most problems.
Um, it's been coming up and kind of causing like >> I didn't hear it's been causing what for her to find a job.
>> Not the theft.
>> No, really.
I think the ticket owner and then the deferred now they haven't disputed that she had so we just wanted to try to attempt to get the one that was calling those patients for her.
Is there ev any evidence that she was trapped?
>> Um, I mean, according to her attorney, I'm just taking her word for it charge.
>> You still have the You don't have the though, do you? Um, so it was like he was contacted on a website backpage.com if HPD. So I'm seeing if I can hold the uh hold the offense report like it was an undercover officer essentially set up responding to or escort that on the website.
So, I've got an office report on whether or not she did it for >> I mean, the only reason I was post judge because of that that she did and deferred on. From my understanding that the code court doesn't have discretion grant her non-disclosure prostitution charges because she charge and did a deferment for she was convicted.
>> Tell me how how do you get by that how do I how do I >> so that was not my understanding of the statute. Um I thought because of the charge since they have it listed that it will be one of those.
>> Right.
It is right. But you have to go beyond that because you've picked up multiple offense that sits there, right? So you get through one prong, but there's another prong that may be barring you from granting it. If you show me that I can, go back at the statute, look at the statute. If you show me that I can, then I'm immutable to, you know, I always like to help people who want to better themselves. I don't have a problem with it. If you show me that I can because he's saying I can't at all. even you know typically there's always this in the interest of justice right show me show me where I can and then I'll most probably do it because you know if someone's wants to better themselves who am I to step in the way and I would rather her work and find something legitimate than to you know continue to because she is barring her from getting something then we end up back in the same vicious cycle over and over and over so I I want to show me that I can and I will Okay. So, pull. Yeah. Step down, look at the statute, show me, and then if I can, I will.
>> Thank you, Judge.
>> Yes, ma'am.
>> I'm looking at it now, but I just, you know, >> she just give me a second.
Really?
>> Is this a good idea, Miss Duplicane?
>> You know, the thing is is that you can lie to me, you can lie to your lawyer, you can lie to your mama, you can lie to your puppy, but you can't lie to yourself. Only you know if you can make this or not. And the problem is you got I mean ours is just kibbles and bits compared to what you got upstairs. Is that a third degree upstairs?
>> I mean, you're looking at serious time in prison if you pick up yet another case. 1 2 3 4 and you constantly you ne you have never appeared, not even once.
Is this a good idea?
>> Yes, probably.
>> Why? because she's had I've spoken with her family and she has familial support now and I believe that she's on the right track. She does see as I've been meeting with her, she does seem more clear-minded than ever before and um she she knows that if she screws up, she's the felony is what's going to find her.
>> Everyone's on the right track when they're in jail.
>> What defines you, Miss Duple, is what you're going to do when you get out.
Will you continue to be with the wrong people or are you the wrong people that's dragging everybody else down? All I know is now I've had to make all your bonds 15,05 because you continue to pick up cases and you continue to fail to appear.
Did we do a T-R and it recommended the young adults?
Is that what they ordered upstairs?
Okay, let's do it.
>> You know, I'm going to tell you now, if you come back because you failed to do anything, it's really not going to go well.
Which one are we going on?
>> You're looking at an entire year in jail with us if you violate this agreement.
Do you understand, Miss Dupachain? Life is hard enough as it is being a young black woman in society today and the fact that all these step thefts. What do you think? What do you think's going to happen in 20 years? Think life gets easier?
It gets harder.
You are young.
You have yourself now. Life doesn't get better the older you get. You get bigger, fatter. You lose hair. You not as good at remembering things. Your eye go back.
Just everything sucks the older you get.
And the more crap you have on your record, you're charged with a terroristic threat, a class A theft, and a failure to ID as a fugitive from justice. The agreement you have worked out is a one-year deferred on the theft case. I'm assuming the other two will be dismissed. Yeah, it should be as well written in there on the actual >> for you to complete to successfully there. You must complete an anti- theft course and 8 hours of community service and complete the young adult case load.
Is there any restitution that's doing this case?
>> Uh, no, your honor. It was a theft from a woman lemon and I believe she was I believe the merchandise was returned.
Great.
>> You are giving up the right to a trial, right to compel witnesses to test your behalf, confront and cross-examine your accusers, the right to be arraigned, chart [ __ ] If you are not a citizen, there are possible immigration consequences. You can be deported, excluded from the country, deny naturalization. You give up the right to appeal. You give up damn near every right known to man entering into this agreement. If you complete it successfully, there's no conviction on your record. But if you violate this thing, I'm going to issue warrant for the rest. I will remember you because I don't I'm not going to forget this. If I have to get you back, the bond will be double, if not triple. We will have a hearing and you were looking at a year in jail. Do you understand? Somehow we have to get your attention, Miss Lucleane, whether it's doing these classes or sitting in the county for a year. I hope it's not the latter, but you hold the keys to this cell and no one else. Are there any codefendants?
>> I do not believe your honor. I'm checking right.
>> Yeah, I'm check check twice.
>> It's an upstairs. It's an organized retail theft. So >> our design is designed here on >> um no contact with any of the locations with a theft, >> no weapons, no drugs, no alcohol, no weapons, no contact with any of the codependents in these cases. Did you graduate from high school?
>> Yes.
>> Great. What else do you want to do with the rest of your life, Miss Chain?
If you had any wish in this life to be whoever you could be, what would you want to be?
>> Doing what?
>> Nails.
>> She wants to start a nail.
>> It's not hard. Start working at a nail salon. Figure out how to do it. Problem is is that you got to be honest in this business. If you're going to run your own business, you got to be honest.
Otherwise, you're not going to get the people to come see you. How do you plead with this offense? Guilty or not guilty?
I'm not going to find you. I will withhold that for a year. Wave all our fees. I'm going to wave all your fees.
It's not about the money. It's about you learning something so you don't come back.
>> Good luck, Mr. Chain.
>> Morning. How are you?
>> Hi. What's up?
>> I'm on that resto property. Last week we were waiting on the offensive report in the offensive report.
>> Were you able to >> Yes, we we do have offense.
>> I get it. But do you verify because the serial numbers weren't matching the last time we were here. That's why we >> Oh, okay. Yeah, let me let me check on that. That's the problem is the serial numbers didn't match and that's why >> so the receipt that he has that says that he purchased the gun matches the one >> yes the serial number >> okay good I'll read Michael >> hey Mr. Hi.
>> Yes.
>> Do me a favor. Will you Will you pull up this code section 41 11.0728?
>> Yes.
>> Will you pull it up real quick?
>> Sure.
>> This is the this is that uh uh non-disclosure.
>> Right.
>> So, let me let me show you something.
Let's read it together because I'm kind of the specific portion I'm looking on.
Just tell me when you're there and we'll get there.
>> I I I got it though.
>> Okay. Go to all the way down to subsection C. Says after notice to the state risk, ma'am, come up. We're talking about you actually.
>> It says, tell me when you're there.
>> I'm there.
>> It says after notice to the state and an opportunity for a hearing, the court having jurisdiction over the petition shall order shall issue an order prohibiting criminal justice from disclosing, right? yada yada yada.
Number one, the person committed the offense described in A1. Right? Number two, look at number two. It says if applicable, the person did not commit another offense as described under subsection A1 on or after the date on which the person's first petition for an order of non-disclosure under the sections was submitted. If you look under A1, go back up all the way to A1.
A1 C 31.0 03 is the theft statute, right?
>> Subsection E1 or E2 talks about class B and class C. But two says on or after the date on which the person's first petition for order for non-disclosure was submitted.
>> So the thefts occurred before the petition was filed. And then number three in the interest of justice. Okay.
>> What do you think?
>> Um, so where >> I mean it's kind of hard. It's kind of like >> it's kooky.
>> Well, right.
>> Which was just filed.
>> So I look at subsection C. Number one is the the victim of the trafficking right.
And then on number two, the person did not commit another offense as described under section A1, which are the theft ones.
>> Okay. First petition.
>> Okay.
>> On or after the date for was >> okay.
>> So I'm guessing that maybe they contemplated your after you file a petition, you can't just start continuing to. I guess the idea is if you've grown up >> a couple of transactions with regard to human trafficking then would be non-disclosure. I mean in that case it's up to you.
>> I'll grant it for you.
>> Okay. Thanks Mr. H.
>> I just wanted to give you a kind and they it's like a maze man.
>> Hi Mr. D. You ready? Yes sir.
>> Okay. on Mr. and or >> uh in jail or on bond >> start with an a >> probation and he picks up for >> Yes, sir.
supposed marijuana.
>> So he does the thinking for change, right? And then after he does the thinking for a change, picks up an assault. What happened? I give it a sol or defendant is the complaint's ex-girlfriend's nephew who also lives with them uh up to two weeks before the breakup. Complainant stated he went back to arrest defendant about statements he made about complainant and complainant sister.
>> So the complaining goes up to the defendant. Yes, a defendant had made statements threatened or raped complainant sister complainant banged on the defendant's window and then it met him at the front door with a black handgun pointing it out attempting and attempted to shoot but they got jammed.
>> What?
>> Talk about lucky. Holy moly.
with a murder case.
>> If that happened to us, >> right?
>> Holy moly.
>> Somebody was able to take the gun away from defendant and complain and fled.
Defendant followed the complainant and they got in a fight where defendant defend the complainant but denied their denied gun.
>> I'm not inclined to you know if you sure if you want to wait. I mean, it looks like >> what I what I was suggesting for myself, judge, is is to talk to his felony lawyer because he's charged.
>> The max year is 30 days anyways, Mr. D.
So, I mean, I'm sure he's probably got >> How much credit do you?
Uh it's um 2537686.
You know, if you if you set it for after the felony, >> he's going to be probably timed out anyway, >> you know. I don't want to do anything.
Yeah, >> he has a serious felony. I don't want to do anything, >> but technicals anyways. Right.
>> So, um you tell me you want to set it for after the felony or >> until at least give me a chance. I'll talk to the >> Sure.
>> You call them however long you want.
>> Yes, sir.
>> Yeah, you call.
>> 30 days.
>> Thank you.
>> Okay. Thank you, Mr. >> Hey. Um so, do you anticipate him bonding out? Do you know?
>> Uh it's a $10,000 bond.
He says he don't know whether he's going to get out or not, but he's going to do something.
>> We need to do some serious conditions.
>> Hey, um so Veronica, >> um on Mr. Anguano, >> no contact.
Well, I guess I can't. They're not my case, right? I can't do the no contact, but just no no weapons, no GPS prior to release, not to be out in the middle of the night, no drugs, no alcohol.
>> Um, >> I guess that's it. Anything else?
>> Does he have a license?
>> Yeah. But regardless, we'll give you.
But I we need to put conditions. Yes, sir.
>> For safety of the community, you know.
>> Okay. And then no driving run.
>> Good morning, Mr. McDaniel.
>> Sir, you're charged with drive. Oh, state.
>> Sir, you're charged with driving while intoxicated. You're facing up to six months in jail and or a $2,000 fine. You have worked out an agreement. They're offering you three days in jail with credit for the one day that you've done.
>> Is this a PTI gone wrong?
>> No, judge. It is not a straight.
>> He's from Louisiana and he works off three days. He couldn't do it. He just fig >> he's out of town too much.
>> Are you sure you want to do this?
>> Long discussion about it.
>> They're the ones that said they got it and just >> there's no reporting via mail or So like this is one I think I told you about it.
They they even wanted him not to have a driver's license since he was not be allowed to drive since he was in a portable device. They wanted to sign that right now. There's no just >> Yeah. The problem is Mr. McDaniel is that, you know, once you plead guilty to something, it's like that forever. It's not target. You can just return it because you don't like it. Once you plead guilty, it's on your record. It stays there for the rest of your life.
There are severe consequences to this.
You know, for example, from now on, it's a minimum of 30 days in jail. If you ever pick up another case, every time you get pulled over, officers, first thing they're going to do is they're going to look to see who they're dealing with. They're going to see that you have a priority to be eye. If you smell like alcohol, if you smell like dope, think it's going to go well. Probably not.
That's You're young now. For the next 70 years, you're going to be driving. These are things that you need to consider.
You sure?
You are giving up the right to a trial, right to compel witnesses to test your behalf, confront and cross-examine your accusers. If you were not a citizen, there are possible immigration consequences. You can be deported, excluded from the country, denied naturalization. You also give up the right to appeal. Once this is final today, it's final forever. You can never change this or undo this. Do you understand? Is this what you want to do?
Uh, I'm assuming the gun case is going to be dismissed.
>> Yes, ma'am.
>> What about the weapon?
>> What?
>> Okay. So, part of the agreement they're going to dismiss this case, but you're going to forfeit the weapon, meaning that you're not going to get it back.
You understand? I have to suspend your license. I'm going to do it for the minimum, which is 90 days. Do not drive until you get a license. I'm going to wave your fines and fees for you today, Mr. McDaniel. But if you come back on a second DWI, it is a $6,000 search charge. And if you don't pay it, every $100 that you owe, you sit one day in jail. So get a clue. Seems like you have a good job. An Uber is $30. No matter where you go, no matter how muff you are, you understand?
>> Good luck to you, sir.
>> Thanks.
>> Thank you, J. Correct.
>> You are Mr. Malik.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> Sir, you were charged with terroristic threat.
>> I'm sorry. U Thanks, >> Mr. Malik. You're charged with terroristic threat. You're facing up to 6 months in jail and or a $2,000 fine.
We are going to do probable cause. You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say can or will be used against you. You have the right to have an attorney present. And if you cannot afford one, one will be appointed to you, sir.
On May 13th in Harris County, officer was dispatched in regards to terrorist direct call. The complaining witness on scene stated that the defendant was talking in at work and began becoming verbally aggressive. Complainant told the defendant to calm down. Defendant said the complainant, "I will kill you."
>> Hey, Mr. >> To who?
>> Uh, who is >> from the Dutch? taking a look didn't say the relation of the witness here judged just that upon arrival they offer contact with complainant who said that uh defendant was clocking in while clocking in became aggressive stated while the defendant was clocking in he turned to him and pointed his finger in the complaint's face and became verbally aggressive and then stated uh that he was I will kill you.
>> All right, Mr. Malik, I'm going to find that there's probable cause to go forward with your case. As a condition of your bond, you're ordered not to have any contact with this person, not be in possession of any weapons. Do you understand?
>> If you violate these conditions, I will order you arrest. I will put you in jail. No more PR bonds for you, sir. Do we know whether they want him back at this location or not?
>> We do not, >> okay, do you mind confirming? Yeah, >> Mr. Malik, do you have the ability to hire a lawyer?
I lost my job.
So, >> how old is this case? Let me see.
>> Okay. Are you currently employed at this time?
>> No. No. I lost No, I lost my job.
>> Okay. I'll take a look to see whether you qualify. I need to know everything about you, how much money you have at the bank, other people that you live with, whether they provide support as well, because the application is based on household income. So, I need you to be honest. How much money you have coming in from any and all sources, how much money you have in the bank, what kind of cars you have, stocks, bonds, mutual funds, IAS, and I'll take a look to see whether you qualify. Deput will give you the application. I'm going to have you sign a reset, and then we'll have you take a seat in the jury box. Do not leave until you sign our bond conditions that please.
>> States condition, >> no weapons, no contact.
>> Uh, most no contact.
>> Okay. Well, it doesn't matter. They'll just put the note back because they fired me. That's was that was my what I wanted to know. Mr. Kim, >> it'll be 30 seconds.
>> Sure.
>> Is she still on?
>> Yeah. Yeah. She's >> already provided copyr violation and also on the initial that she signed.
>> Um, did you let the defendant know about this, Lindsay?
>> Yes, I was there yesterday. We rolled it to today.
>> Got it. Okay.
>> Thank you, judge.
>> All right. Thanks. Thank you, your honor.
>> Bye.
>> Yes. Good morning, your honor. I'm here on Miss Caria. I'm here on Miss Caria Ferguson.
>> Okay, >> your honor. Miss Ferguson indicated to me yesterday that she has not completed the PTI requirements and she would not be able to make it to court today.
>> Okay.
>> Oh, she's here.
>> Alan.
>> Fantastic. Well, fantastic. I'm glad she >> So, let's do this. I'm going to have her step out and you guys talk to see what you want to do. This case is 385 days today. She hasn't had it completed. So, I guess step out and talk. And she either has to accept the accept the other plea bargain agreement or we'll set it up for trial today.
>> Yes, your honor. You >> have her phone number?
>> I have it.
>> Okay. Step outside and please talk with your lawyer, ma'am.
Thank you.
>> Thanks, Alan. Just let me know when you're ready.
>> Yes, sir.
>> What's his last name though?
>> Last name.
He's dressing nice.
>> Let me see if he's worn shorts before.
If he's worn shorts before, then actually >> is there any restitution that's doing this FSGI?
>> There there is restitution. So, it wasn't his vehicle. Um, and his girlfriend's car together state that there was an insurance thing.
He has the girlfriend. They got a letter in the mail, but he has no power to uh initiate any of the restitution and stupid.
>> I get it. But what's is there a deductible or anything? Do you know >> um from our conversations with her?
>> Just we don't have anything about deduction. Just said she had a $3,000 estimate from a quote from a body shop.
>> The original plan was >> What did you Were you trying to do time sir?
>> Can you call up your client, please?
>> Thanks.
>> Yeah. I'd like you to reach out to her >> to find out about. It's not fair.
>> You know what I mean? I mean, I I I understand the concept of trying to move cases, but what's fair is fair.
>> Yeah.
>> If you damage someone's car, then >> the thought was we can't get insurance from her or anything like any information.
I know.
>> Really?
This is number one, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and now eight. You were charged failure to stop and give information.
The plan was for you to start working and if there's any restitution that's owed that it gets paid because that's the fair thing to do. If you have something of yours, someone takes it and they break it, wouldn't you want that, right? I'm sending you now for a drug and alcohol test and we will revisit this in two days. You were weren't supposed to use drugs or alcohol. You're supposed to remain working and work on this case.
I'm now sending you for a drug and alcohol test and we will revisit this case on Monday. Do you understand? In the interim, do you mind reaching out to this person to see if there's any restitution? We will see you back on Monday. If you come in shorts, it's not going to be a good day for anyone. You know how to dress for court. Don't come in shorts again. Do you understand?
Okay, we'll see you guys on Monday, >> please.
>> Of course.
>> Absolutely. Always.
>> No, no, no, no. You're going for a drug and alcohol test.
>> Ellen.
>> Yes. Good morning, your honor. Regarding Miss Ferguson, she was asking if she could um be rolled day for day to try to complete the PTI.
>> No, it's 380 days, dude. It's be We're way beyond that. Come up, ma'am.
>> What was the last name again? Alan, please.
Okay. So, you know, the look of disappointment on your lawyer's face, the fact that you literally had one class and four hours of community service for dismissal in this case, and yet time and again, you failed to do anything. Your case is 385 days old. We set cases for trial at 180 days. You need to go out there and figure out now whether you want to accept. Do you have another pre-bargain agreement on this case? Sean, >> please. This is Miss Ferguson.
>> Yes, sure.
>> Your honor, if I may, I can tell you that Miss Ferguson just said to me that if she can't do the PTI, she wants to go to trial.
I >> I'm happy to do it, but here's what we're going to do. If you want to go to trial, I'm happy to do it. But I will not accept any more plea bargain agreements after today. Today is your plea bargain deadline. Meaning that you can either accept what they have to offer. If you don't, and which you don't have to, it's your prerogative.
At that point, we set your case for trial. You will go to trial kicking or screaming. You are facing a year in jail. I don't like to play games. I have enough drama in my life. I'm not going to drag everyone down here, 35 people who hate to come to downtown anyways, and have them prepare, have your lawyer prepare for you to just plead guilty on the day of trial. It's not going to happen. We said it. You will go to trial. Do you understand? I don't want you to make a decision now. I can have you step out, talk to your lawyer, you guys make the decision. What's the alternate offer that you've made, >> judge? There's a there's PTI. There's time served.
>> No, no. PTI is off the table. It's not going to happen.
>> There's also time served or 3 month deferred.
>> Okay. Those are the offers that they've given you. You need to discuss it with your lawyer now. Time served, a 3-month deferred or we can set this case for trial. Please step out, talk to your lawyer, and when you're ready, come back.
Your honor, I'm sorry, just two two last things. First, she did say that her car got towed when she left court last week, and that's why she wasn't able to pay for the class. She asked me to communicate that >> Allan.
>> Yes, sir.
>> It's nearly 400 days. I'm not going to accept any more excuses. You had day after day after day. There are no That's it. At some point, we have to let people put their big boy big girl pants on.
That's it.
>> Yes, sir. Yes, sir. The last >> Go ahead. I I'm in uh I'm in the middle of the ocean, so I'm not able to enter a plea if she wants to take the deferred.
Um so if she does want to do the deferred, >> can you just explain to her the plea paperwork real quick if that's what she wants to do?
>> Yes, I can. Absolutely.
>> I'll step in for >> I have someone ready to step in. I have um that'll help explain the plea paperwork if you'd like. Alan, >> I would. Thank you. negotiate it for him. I'll just I'll explain to her or I can take the plea with her.
>> Step out, explain to her, see what she wants to do, and then we can have someone else take the plea for you.
>> Yes, sure. Thank you very much.
>> Thanks, buddy.
>> Okay. Bye-bye.
>> Are you ready?
>> I'm Marcus.
>> Okay.
>> And uh >> is this person here?
>> Yes, he is.
>> Okay. Do you mind bringing him up?
>> Oh, sure. Sure.
Oh, you might have just sat down.
>> Sure. And then All right. Come around this way, please.
>> So, do we need to do bond conditions or >> It appears that way. Yes.
>> Yeah. Okay. Did he just get out of jail or something?
>> Uh, no. We had an issue last week where we moved the date.
Got it. All right. So, Mr. Oliver, you're charged with driving while intoxicated. You're also charged with unlawful unlawful carrying of a weapon. On the gun case, you're facing up to a year in jail and or a $4,000 fine. On the DWI, up to six months in jail and or $2,000 fine. We are going to do probable cause.
You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say can be used against you, sir.
>> Okay.
Uh on May 6 in Harris County, officer observed the vehicle with expired registration on Old Spanish Trail.
>> The vehicle, the traffic office dunking on the vehicle. Defendant was the sole octed driver. Uh officer observed strong odor of alcoholic beverage from the defendant's breath, slurred speech and watery eyes. Defendant admitted to drinking prior to driving. Officer observed a cup half full of pendency on the passenger side floor as well as a firearm in the center console unholstered. SFSTs were conducted. Six out of six HGN two out of eight walking turned two out of four one stand was red. Defendant refused to provide sample blood was executed. Blood was drawn.
>> Mr. Oliver, I'm going to find that there's probable cause to go forward with your case. As a condition of your bond, you ordered not to drive any vehicle that's not equipped with an ignition interlock on it.
>> Your honor, may may I uh speak on that for a moment, please?
>> Uh Mr. Oliver works as a uh commercial driver. He uh works on um he >> Yes.
>> You tell me he has a CDL.
>> Yes.
>> There's an open cup of alleged Hennessy in the car. Yes, your honor.
>> Stop.
>> Not you. Not you.
Okay.
>> Yes, your honor. Uh the if he was in the car with his girlfriend, we would we would argue that it would belong to his girlfriend. We'd say that belong to his girlfriend. She also claimed the scene.
Um so, uh there's there's that, sir. Um also, so he basically he works inside the plant. He drives vacuum trucks for the plant on private plant property. He has drug tests are done regularly on him to make sure that he's clean. Um if the court would consider giving him a portable device um rather than an ignition interlock does not have car but we'd be willing to submit to as much as as >> I'm going to order that any vehicle that he drives in a personal capacity must have a interlock on it. You will also get a portable device that you're going to take with you everywhere you go to prove to me that you're not consuming alcohol. I don't care where you're going. I don't care what time it is. If you skip a test, I'm going to throw your butt in jail. Do you understand? There's no tolerance. Do not consume alcohol. Do not consume illegal drugs. Otherwise, you will go to jail. in touch. Could you also um uh discuss and I know you know and I know just so that the client may be aware as well about like novel and things that >> when we mean no alcohol that means no alcohol of any kind any source whatsoever anything in this life can create alcohol if there's any kind of sugar in it a banana an apple mouthwash has it just Nyquil if you use anything that has alcohol in it, you will go to jail. After a while, things ferment, they turn into alcohol if they get if they sit out long enough. You understand those machines are extremely finicky. So, if I were you, I probably wouldn't blow into it to after you consume whatever it is that you use at least 30 minutes. You should give a window before you blow into that machine. If you blow within a couple minutes of eating or drinking something, you may very well cause a false positive. And everyone here tells me that they've consumed mouth water. I've heard everything. A tequila, lollipop, hair dye, mouthwash, everything.
No means no. Do you understand? I'm not asking you to split the atom. I'm just asking you don't consume alcohol. Don't use illegal drugs. Don't use any vehicle that's personal that h doesn't have an interlock on it. If you do, likewise, into jail you go. I will pay for everything for you, so there's no excuse. Because you have a lawyer, I will wave your appearance. It is your responsibility to stay in touch with them. Likewise, while you're on bond, you're not to be in possession of any weapons as well.
>> Um, so now we will have you meet, sign a reset. You'll get with Veronica conditions. After that, you're free to go.
>> Please.
Okay. Hey, >> good morning.
>> What's up?
>> Time.
>> I see it. I'm okay with it.
>> Okay. 29.
>> Yeah.
>> Let me let me do these two things and then I'll sign it on. Give me one second.
>> Uh, Mr. Cox, you're charged with harassment. You're facing up to 6 months in jail and or a $2,000 fine. The agreements you have worked out is 15 days in jail with credit for the two days you've done. Is that how you understand the agreement? I will allow you to report by 5:29 by 6 p.m. If you fail to show up, the entire range of punishment is available for us to put you in jail 180 days. You understand? Also, you have to show up on time. If you were someone who's perpetually late, don't be late because they're not going to take you. You show up at 601 and then we will have issues.
You are giving up the right to a trial, right to compel witnesses, detest behalf, confront uh your accusers. If you are not a citizen, there are possible immigration consequences. You can be deported, excluded from the country naturalization. You also give up the right to appeal. How do you plead to this offense? Guilty or not guilty?
>> Are you guilty of this offense?
Are you sure?
>> Okay. Sure. I'm going to find you guilty. I'll follow the agreement. Send you to it. Good luck to you.
>> Thank you.
Mr. Bailey, how you doing?
>> Hey, man. What's up?
>> What's the last name?
>> He's in custody.
>> Okay.
>> Um the office in this case is March. I was appointed last month. Everything is in minus a rift.
>> I only It's only 74 days.
>> It is your honor. Um >> I did you want to do something?
>> I I wanted to ask. Yes. I would like I would like the trial that I can.
>> You want to get a trial date?
>> I would like that.
>> I'm sorry. I'm still trying to get the name through there for a second. Just set it trial.
>> He wants to set it for trial. Are you ready? Is everything in?
There's been two attempts to contact her. However, >> contact witness. However, the witness has been contacted about that.
>> I'd like I'd like a >> Can you make it like a really short setting?
>> Yeah. Next week.
>> Yeah. Pick a day next week. Let him evalot without the CW. Let's go from there. And then at that point, >> thanks, Mr. Baylor.
>> Okay. Are you ready?
>> Hi.
>> Foundation. I did file the motions to council and >> Sure. I'll sign. Also, I went upstairs and Judge Warren um gave her a $10,000 bond.
>> Okay.
>> And we have a bond here.
>> I I can't let her do a walk through on a felony case. That's not my case.
>> Sorry.
>> I mean, if you go out there and post bond now, Can she go pay the bond real quick to try to >> You want to see? Can you try to convince them to pick her up? Because on ours, I haven't done anything yet. I haven't revoked her bond on ours. So, you could theoretically go get them, bring her upstairs, and then they'll let you go do the walk through. But, it's a felony case. I can't let her go on a felony case. Okay.
>> Like what you're asking me to do here?
They need to do it.
>> I can't do it on a felony case.
>> Yeah.
>> Well, no. He said he did. He said that he was fine. He was ahead. He put the um the $10,000 bond in and said that um what she was done here or if you were releasing her >> I can't release her because it's a felony warrant. That's the problem, right? If they go upstairs and you if they if a baiff comes down here, comes get her, takes her upstairs, then he could let her walk out because it's his court. This is a felony case. I can't let someone go on a felony warrant.
>> I can't PC's not been found upstairs.
>> I'll carry it. So So I'm She's going to postpone upstairs, right? So, as soon as she postpone, if if they come get her, he could do PC upstairs, do everything, and then let her go do a walk through, right, today.
>> Okay.
>> If not, they'll get her downstairs.
They'll m they'll mag her probably tomorrow, and then we'll be back.
>> We did >> on the felony case.
>> Okay. Well, I didn't know that.
>> Let me see. All right, Miss Cruz Ortega. Um, so it's come to my attention that they have found probable cause to go forward with your case upstairs. I ordered you as a condition of your bond not to have any kind of this contact with the complaining witness in this case being that you picked up a felony and that's the same complaining witness. I'm going to revoke the bond on this case. I'm going to set it at 50001. And let me tell you something. I will now issue another protective order. You are ordered not to have any contact with this person. If you do, I will deem you a public danger and I'm going to make your bond extremely high. I don't care what you got to do. I don't care if there's kids. I don't care if you have a pony with this person. You have contact with this person. I'm going to add.
Do you understand? No contact means no contact of any kind.
Um, okay. I guess that's it. We'll take her in now. If if you can get someone to do come down and get her, I'll allow you to do a walk through with us to take them out and then do it on both. Okay.
>> Thanks.
>> No, with you just Yeah. No drugs, no alcohol, no weapons. Yeah. Okay.
>> Do you need the cause number, Veronica?
>> You got it. Okay.
Hi Corey, you ready? What's up?
>> Okay.
>> Sure.
>> Anything particular you want guys want to do?
>> Figure out.
>> Yeah. What do you think? Figure out what I want to offer. Judge our complaint got an attorney. They're asking for like straight probation asking for dismissal. Is a case that originally was charged possession of child porn distribution of child porn.
This case, >> in this case, this case, there was a photo of a child with penis that was superimposed on their face >> on and it was like sent out as a text message. So, it was dismissed as possession child born. It's not child born, but I mean it's still a serious offense and I have a couple different people asking me a couple different things. This is the first time I'm on this case looking at it. So, I just >> Why don't take a week to think about it?
>> It won't take me long, but >> Yeah. Are you okay with a week?
>> Um, I'm out of town the next week and I Yeah, but at that point it's oh probably close to 200 days. We need to figure it out. So >> the 2B for a little while, >> right?
>> Um just make sure she'll come at the next setting so we can figure it out.
You know, if you want to set it, just be ready and then we'll go from there.
>> Okay.
>> Thanks.
>> Who is it? Hey, who is it?
>> What's up? Uh what do you >> It's 190 days on an interference.
>> Yes. Yes.
>> What's the word? Thunderbird.
>> There's a couple of offers u judge and so I'm talking to my client about maybe considering trial. Um there's a there's a couple videos that I they've been released since March. I hadn't seen them. My little check mark was on there. So >> So pick a day next week, but that's it.
You're at 190 days old. It's old. So, next week, just be ready for clear trial.
>> Um, >> do you have any other old cases?
>> I think it might be more, but she's not here today. She is 180.
>> Okay. I mean, you're at 160. The problem is is I don't want to get up here at 180. Well, we want to do PTI now.
>> Are you sure?
>> Well, then read. So on that one, we'll give you two weeks because you're getting up there. Just figure out where you want to go with it. If you want to do PTI, is she eligible >> or is she approved or does she need a mitigation packet?
>> I do not believe we have a application in.
>> Sure. But I want to know is that all they need or do they need mitigation?
>> Okay. So you're probably approved. All she needs to do is fill out the application. If they grant it, then you know, walk through. But other than that, in two weeks, if she just want to do whatever, just have her come and do it.

My horrible.
>> Are you taking something? Yes, I take a shot and inhalers and pills and all of them.
>> Oh, but luckily y'all have your stanky air freshener in here.
>> Judge, I'm here on Mr. Woodard's case.
>> Okay.
>> Um, there seemed to have been maybe a discovery issue. We've investigated.
There is no discovery issue that I can fight. And so, her options are to take the defer separately. They >> No, no, no, not separately. She's getting >> I've sorry today or set for trial.
>> Okay.
>> Um and I've asked her what she wants to do and but she says she wants to talk to you.
>> I'm not going to help. No.
>> Okay. No.
>> Do you want to Do you want to >> She needs to make a decision today.
>> I can't I can't give you any advice because I'm not a lawyer. I can only stand to make sure.
>> Come up, ma'am. Come up.
>> Thank you for helping out.
>> Absolutely. You're the best.
>> I don't know.
>> What's your last name, judge?
>> I don't know to tell the prosecutor.
>> Ferguson.
>> Ferguson.
>> You need to make a decision today on what you want to do. There are no more resets on your case. Do you understand?
Your case is nearly 400 days old. You need to either accept the plea bargain agreement or we're going to set your case for trial today. She's graciously stepped in to help out, but you need to make the decision today.
>> Not attorney.
>> I'm not. Nope. Stop.
>> He didn't stop. He's not a good representation of me.
>> He got you a dismissal offer of a class and four hours of community service. It doesn't get better than that.
>> Stop.
>> Stop. You need >> You take the deferred. Just She says she'll take the deferred.
>> Okay. Um, at some point we have to put the stop on cases. Otherwise, everything balloons out of control. We already have 100 cases on the docket every day.
Otherwise, we'd have 200, 300. We'd never get anything done. We have to put a stop on the cases. You've had multiple resets after reset after reset. And I gave you one final reset to get a 2hour class and 4 hours of community service done. and you had ample opportunity to do it. You You were here last time and I told you that you had up until today to get it done.
>> Now you stop.
>> I know. There's We'll talk about all that and I'll tell you why he's not accepting that. Okay, >> good. You need to go make the decision.
We'll do the plea paperwork now and then we'll see in 15 minutes. But >> may I ask one more indulgence of the court? May I please do this on paper? I can't sign it.
>> Yes, of course. Absolutely. Yeah. John, do you mind print it out? They'll print it out. We'll give it to you now.
>> Thank you so much.
>> Yeah, absolutely.
We got the felony attorney down here.
>> Take your time. No rush.
>> No rush.
>> Come up, Miss Free.
Does Miss Fre have a license to drive, please?
>> Yes, judge.
>> She's been removed from the program, correct?
>> Yes, judge. She's been >> Miss Free, you were in the pre-trial intervention program. You've now been removed from that program, and you need to decide on what you want to do. You have a lawyer in this case. It is your responsibility to reach out to the lawyer to set up a meeting to go through all the evidence. But when you come back on the 27th, you need to decide whether you want to accept the plea bargain agreement. Otherwise, I will set your case for trial. Once you set up a trial, that is we will not accept any more plea bargain agreements. That is the 27th is your plea bargain deadline. You must either accept it, you can reject it. If you reject it, your case will be separate trial and you will go to trial.
Kicking or screaming. Do you understand?
>> Yes, sir. You are facing 180 days in this jail. Due to you being a flight risk, I'm now going to put a GPS monitor on your ankle. On your other ankle, you will get a grand monitor so we know that you're not consuming alcohol.
>> Her license is >> okay. You're not allowed to drive unless you have a valid Texas driver license and liability insurance. You must maintain car insurance. If you do not have car insurance, then do not drive.
That is also a condition of your bond.
So, we will set your case for the 27th.
Your lawyer's phone number will be on the reset paper. There will it'll be circled so you know which the number is and then we'll see you on the 27th.
>> Okay. Come on.
>> This is good morning, ma'am.
>> You were charged with theft.
>> You are facing up to six months in jail andor a $2,000 fine.
You have worked out an agreement.
They are offering you 30 days in jail with credit for the 58 days that you have already done.
>> You need to understand that this charge will go on your record. It will be there for the rest of your life.
You are giving up the right to a trial.
Right to compel witnesses to test your behalf, confront and cross-examine your accusers. If you were not a citizen, there are possible immigration consequences.
You can be deported, excluded from the country, denied naturalization.
You give up the right to appeal.
This is a final conviction today and it will go on your record. The other thing you need to understand is that this is an enhancable offense, Miss Acetuno. Meaning that >> if you continue to pick up theft cases, at some point you will be hit with a felony offense years instead of days.
>> Do you understand?
>> Do you still want to do this?
>> How do you play through the offense of theft? Guilty or not guilty?
>> I'm going to find you guilty. I will follow the agreement. Senate you to it.
Good luck to you, man.
>> Thanks.
Thank you, Irma.
>> Ready?
>> What's the matter?
She's not guilty. She won't let me explain the plea to her.
>> Okay. Come up, ma'am.
>> Well, I don't know enough about the case.
>> No, no, no. Don't don't.
>> So, we'll set the case for trial today.
>> I don't have a call number. Just throw it away. This is Miss Ferguson.
>> Do you have everything that you need?
>> She says the charge is wrong.
>> I I don't care. I really I don't care.
But I'm not accepting anything after today. We No more plea bargains will be accepted. This is your deadline. You don't have to accept anything. This is your right to go to trial and but it's also my right as a judge here whether to accept or reject a plea bargain agreement. I don't have to take it. We can just go to trial and that's what we will do. I'm done wasting time. This case has been reset overnight.
If it's not right, I can't understand if you're not if you keep saying it wasn't right.
>> Not me.
He wasn't.
>> Ma'am, he got you a plea bargain agreement to get the case dismissed.
>> Do you understand what that means? Your case would be dis >> the case would be dismissed. We reset you to give you time to get that completed. You've had in this case 1 2 3 4 5 six different resets. Your case is 385 days old.
Do you understand? We set case up for trial at 180 days. I feel like I'm beating a dead horse here, but you have rejected the plea bargain, and that is fine. Your case will be now set for trial. You will be set for 30 days from today. Be here ready for trial on that day. It would behoove you to probably call your lawyer and go through all the evidence to see what you were facing when you do go to trial. But after today, no more plea bargain agreements will be accepted.
>> Do you understand?
>> Nope. I'm not going to take it because if you're telling her you're not guilty, then I will not take a plea bargain from you.
>> I'm not guilty.
>> I'm not going to. So, >> but I do want to technically What is the problem with the paperwork?
>> It's just the wrong number.
>> What wrong number?
>> She told me she looked up, right? But I was just trying to explain.
>> Tell me what you're saying.
>> I was just trying to explain to her that 28 is >> it doesn't that is the she's going to start talking about the case.
>> Just don't write everything down. It is there when when there is a certain charge, >> the case is pled a certain way. That is the formal charge. The amount of drugs that you have doesn't matter and they're not going to put it where the formal charges. That's what I was. Every case gets charged the same way. Whether you have one pill, whether you have half a pill, whether you have a quarter pill, whether you have five pills, it's based on the same charge. So now if you have way many then you start hitting felony status, right? But you know for a certain amount you are in misdemeanor court. If you have over the threshold to get into felony court then you were in felony.
>> Thank you for letting me hear that.
Nobody.
>> Not a big deal.
Do >> you still do you still feel comfortable doing this? If not >> judge cuz she is saying she had less than 28 g. The charge is greater than 28 g. She's telling me she had less than 28 g. If she had anything at all, it would have been less than.
>> So, it says here, it says here on May 1st, 2025, did then and there unlawfully, intentionally, unknowingly possess a controlled substance, namely alprazoleum, weighing less than 28 g by aggregate weight, including any adulterance and dilutants.
>> It's charged. It's greater than 28 g.
That's why she she's not pleading guilty. Says greater than 20. And I can't do that.
>> It says weighing less.
>> No, it says greater.
>> The information says less than.
>> At least.
>> Do you need it printed out again?
>> Yes. John, do you mind printing it out one more time, please?
>> Sorry. Thanks.
>> Hey, Mr. G. Ready? What's up, man?
>> Number four. Where's Mr. Martinez now?
>> He's right here.
>> Come up, Mr. Martinez.
this >> it's always the same as far and I don't know >> I wasn't here when condition obviously I know it's a BWI second but he has ankle on ankle DPS and a no lock in his car and he gets drug testing almost weekly he's never had a positive for alcohol or drugs it's poison. Yes, he's trying to get his life together working two jobs at the same time.
>> His understanding is he was able to stop at a gas station on the way home from work because that's the amended border thing that you're allowed to go to and from work.
>> You can only go to and from work so many times before you got to get gas.
>> Sure. But you don't have to get gas at 10 at night.
>> Well, there were no hour restrictions because he was working at the golf course which is still stuck down and then after playing golf.
So, I mean, >> you know, I just don't understand the GPS. I'm just not sure why that was initially.
I didn't know what what the cont >> I think that we've been more than accommodating with Mr. Martinez. This is a fourth bond violation. Mr. Martinez.
And if I don't put you in jail now, then what kind of message am I sending you?
>> Do you understand?
>> Right.
>> You have to understand that courts are here for a reason.
>> You do what we say. We mean what we say.
And I find that when I'm too nice to people, sometimes it just keeps biting me in the butt over and over. And I have literally bent over backwards not to put you in jail, Mr. Martinez. As much as I love Mr. Gans here, this is now a fourth violation.
>> So sorry, you will go to jail today.
>> Okay.
>> How old is this case anyways, >> Mr. Chance?
from January.
>> Yeah, it's at 140 days. So, >> next year.
>> So, so what we'll do is we'll give you one final setting for, you know, 30 to 40 days, but at that point it's clear trial. You're just way too much drama for me and I got to put the guy on it.
It's just time. So the next time we come here after if you bond out the same conditions will continue if you violate conditions again. This time I'm going to go bananas on your bond and in 30 days you will be back here. You must either accept the ple bargain agreement or I'm going to set your case for trial. Do you understand?
>> Okay. Goes with me.
>> Hey, the bond is at 20,000 now. I'm only going to do 5,000. So, I'll do 25,0001.
I'm going to do 25,000 and four because I can remember that he's got four bond violations. But, I'm only going to go with $5,000. So, >> I we'll see. But I I find that most people do, >> but Okay.
>> Have a wonderful weekend.
>> You too. Take care. Mr. >> Gudge, how much is >> 25,0004?
Um, the license is still not me, but it's still on the website.
Okay, >> let me see how old it is.
>> I mean, it's 190 days old. When do we have >> I get it. But at some point, we got to put the put a stop, right? When is reasonable? And did he contact DPS?
>> Yeah, he did. That's why they told >> what did they say that he needs to do?
>> When did he pay it? That same week that that was >> you said an SR what?
>> SR60.
>> Did he get it?
>> He has the SR60.
>> Can you run the driving record?
>> It's still showing up.
>> I know. But why is there a hard suspension?
>> But that's like on there. So he said that they told him that it was because the court hasn't let him.
>> Which court?
>> He's saying he has a they told him he has a computer here and that's why they're not.
>> Oh, well then that's why he's probably got some municipal court open somewhere that he's just failed to take care of.
>> He needs to he needs to figure out where he has an FDA from the I guess calendar.
>> They didn't tell him where it's from.
Evan Garza, come up.
They they didn't tell him where the FTA was. I mean, I'm sure they would have.
>> They told me like not driving.
>> You called DPS.
>> What did they say?
>> They said she geted me.
>> Good.
>> You submit that and she needs to >> No, but they said they also you also have an FTA open somewhere too.
>> A failure to appear. That's that appeared after I did the reation in the SR60. It said that my license and then whatever was holding my license and at the bottom it says your license was being held because of failure to appear and I thought it was >> Did you get a new traffic ticket somewhere?
>> When is the last time you've had a ticket >> from here? there. No, you haven't gotten any more tickets from any other jurisdictions at all.
>> Um, so what was the date that you actually paid everything?
>> DPS takes a long time to get anything done from the time I mean my experience is anytime that you pay something. Yeah.
Give me one second left. Anytime you pay something >> Yeah. So I would say let's set it off a week and a half because usually it takes around two to three weeks anytime you pay something with DPS for it to reflect in the system. For some reason it just it's always two to 3 weeks. It's that's how just long it takes. And probably just because it you know how many drivers are they overseeing in in all of Texas? Probably millions of drivers, right? I mean how many people in Texas just alone?
>> So in all of Texas, right? Well, I mean, imagine EPS and because they dealing with all so that's why it probably takes a while. But, um, if you've paid everything, I I don't know what it was. You don't see anything open or >> the only thing making it not eligible is suspension.
>> There's nothing else on his >> And you did get the SR60.
Okay. I guess let's give it a week and a half and let's see if it pops up eligible, you know.
Um, I would probably just out of an abundance of caution >> call >> call again tomorrow. Do you have the phone number?
>> Remember, but call at 7 in the morning.
Don't call at 8. Don't call at 9:00.
Don't call at 2. You'll never The only time you'll ever get through is as soon as they open in the morning, which is at 7:00 in the morning. At 6:59 is that's when you would need to call. So, as soon as they hit 7:00, you get through. So, you can actually talk to someone. Hey, what's holding me up? I've paid this everything. And hopefully they'll just tell you, well, it takes a little bit of time to reflect. If that's it, then you're good to go. If they're saying there's something else, reach out to Kendra and then you guys try to figure it out. Okay. Okay.
>> Does the CW in Mr. Vasquez's case want contact?
>> Sean came back in the room and talked with me and Sam on the phone. You guys verified you want >> gun?
I've also spoken with >> I'm following their >> So he has a felony case open too.
>> Yeah, the felony is going to get dismissed on the on >> this violation of that.
>> That's a hell of a deal. Mr. Vasquez, you speak English, correct? I can tell you now, there's not many times in life they're going to dismiss an aggravated assault for your probation case on a misdemeanor. I mean, count your lucky stars. I don't see it happening often, and it's probably not going to happen very often in the future. Again, both of you are charged with criminal offenses and both of you have worked out agreements to finalize these cases today. Both of you have worked out deferred adjudications. These is a type of probation that if you complete successfully, there's no conviction on your record. But you cannot tell people it was dismissed. If you complete this successfully, it does not get dismissed.
You >> finalize the do well. If you do well, there's no conviction. There's a big difference between both. Do each of you understand?
>> You also give up many rights entering into this agreement. You give up the right to a trial, right to compel witnesses to test your behalf, confront and cross-examine your accusers. If you guys are not citizens, there are possible immigration consequences. You can be deported, excluded from the country, deny naturalization. You also give up the right to appeal. Once you accept this agreement, you sign a contract with the court indicating that you are going to comply with all the conditions, meaning that you do the stuff on time in relation to what it says in the contract that you sign. If you do not, if you don't do what you're supposed to, if you pick up a new case, if you do so much as speak in a harmful or offensive or or threatening manner with Miss Vasquez here, we will issue a warrant feast.
>> We will have a hearing to determine if you violated this agreement. If you do, each of you are facing up to one year in jail. Do you understand?
>> Yes.
>> Do you still want to do this?
>> Do you want to do this, man? How do you plead to the offense, sir? Guilty or not guilty?
>> Guilty.
>> I'm not going to find you guilty. I will withhold yours for 18 months for you to complete this successfully. You must do a TRA. This is an evaluation to see if you need other conditions. If they assess other conditions, you must fulfill them. You must do a bad intervention prevention program. This one is a tough one. You have to complete this class which is once a week for 18 weeks. There is a curriculum that is set out for you to follow in the manner that they set out, not on yours. If you skip one week, they may kick you out of the program. If they do, we will issue a warrant. It's once a week for 18 weeks.
No drugs, no alcohol, no um threatening or rising contact with with Miss Vasquez. Miss Fergus for you to complete this successfully. There's no drugs, no alcohol, random testing, a drug awareness class, and 4 hours of humanity service. Is this how you understand the agreement? How do you plead to the offense guilty or not guilty?
I'm not going to find you guilty either.
On both of your cases, you will enter into deferred today and I will make you guys a deal. If you do well, if you do not test positive for drugs or alcohol, if you're nice to your probation officers, get all your stuff done quick.
I will take you off in half the time.
You could literally be done with this thing in a month and a half if you do well. But above all else, do not test positive for anything illegal, including marijuana. I'm telling you that you're going to get tested. Do you understand?
We test within three weeks till a month.
All right, guys. Best of luck to you.
I'm going to wave your co court cost.
I'm going to wave all your fees. So, you won't owe anything. Just have to test negative to do your stuff.
>> What do you do for a living, sir?
>> I need >> Right. Okay. All right. Well, we'll follow the agreement, send you to it, and good luck to both of you. Please.
>> Great job, Miss Station. You're done.
Good morning, Mr. Burroughs.
>> Sir, you're charged with criminal trespass. You're facing up to 180 days in jail and or a $2,000 fine.
You've worked out an agreement. They're offering you 30 days in jail.
Credit for >> 34 days.
>> 34 days credit. You are giving up the right to a trial. Right to compel witnesses to test on your behalf.
Confront and cross-examine your accusers. If you're not a citizen, there are possible immigration consequences.
You can be deported, excluded from the country, deny naturalization, you give up the right to appeal. How do you plead through the office of criminal trespass?
Guilty or not guilty?
>> I'm going to find you guilty. Um I'm assuming the other one will be dismissed.
>> So that is the 257 will be dismissed.
All right, sir. Good luck to you.
Thanks.
>> Thank you, Mr. >> Mayo.
ing on Mr. Timothy Graham J.
The state has made an offering today uh and we are going to accept it. However, it required a financial donation to the BART and we were going to ask the court to allow us short reset to set up.
>> How much are you asking for?
>> It's $500.
>> $500.
>> Well, actually the cheap 200.
>> Okay. I mean it's 2 in 50 days, man.
I'll give you a week.
>> I was an opponent judge.
>> I give you a week, but at that point, I mean, he's got to come.
>> Two weeks, please. So, do you want >> 250 days, man?
>> But he's going to pay be done. If he doesn't have >> Does he have to do anything else?
>> All right. Two weeks.
>> Thank you.
Um, >> and she so I understand she turned herself on today.
>> Um, I would ask your honor to consider uh giving her a PR bond. I understand that there was a mixup >> mixup.
>> Yes. So she was arrested back in January of last year on this charge in Odessa.
Um she posted her Harris County bond while she was in in jail county and they did not know about the new she didn't know that there was a coordinated success. Additionally judge she was 15.
>> She paid a cash bond last time. As soon as you pay a cash bond, they give you the actual reset date when you they give you and when you pay the cash bond and then she makes another out of county bond 4 months later and then she fails to appear again, right? Is that what we have?
>> I see a few years from the 13. Um, >> did you see the bail bond company over there?
Oh, >> they're here for her.
>> I see. Can I speak up?
>> Yeah, of course.
>> Yeah, sorry. 254 I'm sorry, I thought you had it.
>> 2547697.
Miss Zeruchi um first posted a cash bond looks like on January 17th.
She signs it which has the date on it and then so we issue a capius because no one I guess appears and then she posts May 6 and out of county bond.
>> She posted on April 17th in in Midland, Texas and then um they court date or the bond in the system for the 6th and then >> well hold on hold on hold. Okay, >> let me see. Uh she posts Midland May 6 or it's filed May 6th >> and they put signed April 17, 2026.
Court date we checked on 55 and there was nothing in there. Sorry. And then we the next day that's when they put the actual court date I'm guessing on 6 so we weren't able to let her know she actually drove down here 8 hours today so she could make sure and I had spoke to this young lady Brianna and she just said to come in the court and I'll be able to approach it explain and she's been doing everything in the office correct checking in doing everything she needs to do.
>> So where does Mr. Tucci live now? She lives in Odessa.
I do understand that her husband's family is in Houston. So if the reason is staying in Houston condition, she'll be able to call.
>> No, I I usually don't. But the problem is is that now is multiple times, but okay, I'll reinstate the bond today with the understanding that I'm not I will not do it again. If she fails to appear again, next time I'm going to multiply it by who knows what and it's just I'm not going to reinstate it again.
>> You know, at some point we have to hold people accountable. can't just keep and now um she'll get a physical, you know, actual >> right.
>> Correct.
>> Not only that, the case is now four four months old. So, we're at already at the 120day mark. So, we usually like they said, do you mind bringing it out, please?
>> So, I'm going to let me just out and then I'll tell her, there is a question on >> Okay.
If she gets it done, then she doesn't have to appear. But that's on her, right? I mean, how many times have we had it where have to beg people to do a dismissal and they still don't do it.
You know, this is not a revolving door. You don't get to postpone, take flight, postbond, take flight, post bond. At some point, we have to hold you accountable. This is not a revolving door. Imagine if we did that for everybody. I mean, it would be complete chaos here. So, at some point, we have to hold your feet to the fire.
This is now that time. If you ever take off on us again, I'm going to multiply the bond by who knows how much, and you will not get another PR bond, and I don't care if you turn yourself in. If Jesus brings you here, you're not going to get another one. Do you understand?
So, your lawyer has negotiated with you an offer where if you complete a course, they will dismiss this case against you.
The case is now 120 days old. We set cases for trial at 180 days. So, we'll give you 30 days, but at that time, you either need to be back here, be ready to set this case for trial, or have everything done. But at that point, that's it. Do you understand?
>> Okay. So, we are now, not only are we going to give you a physical reset form that's going to have your actual date on it, but we've given you a lawyer and you're going to have his phone number, so there's no excuse. Do you understand?
Yes, sir.
>> Okay. Good luck, man.
>> Okay.
>> Oh, what's the cost?
>> It's 259570 >> on gray.
>> Yeah.
>> Okay.
>> So, on this case, um there there is a condition. Um I I'd ask for two that for one day he his uh was having a birthday party in Dallas on the 28th. Um he uh does understand of course that um I mean I I don't know who >> does he have any devices now?
>> He has a scram. Yes.
>> Okay. So um Okay. But I don't want him out in the middle of the night like he's not out. He's not. Come up, Mr. Gray.
>> I plan to suspend my >> That's fine, but I want him indoors at a reasonable time. He's already had two different bond violations. I don't want him out. Nothing good happens at 2 in the morning when you're on bond for a DWI.
>> Especially when you have two different bond violations.
I'm okay with you going over there, but I don't want you out at 2 in the morning. Nothing good happens for you who are on bond for DWI in college at 2 in the morning. There is no partying while you're on bond for this case. Do you understand? Parting with alcohol and illegal drugs. You're going to get tested as soon as you get back for illegal substances. Do not use. There are a lot of people that will tempt you because temptation is a [ __ ] especially when you're on bond. Do not use. I don't care how raging this party is. If you get dragged under, you're the one that's going to jail, not them. Do you understand? So, um, what's the curfew now?
>> It's >> okay. What What do you want?
>> Um, >> you want more time?
>> My sister's only >> Oh, okay. Well, then great. Keep the Yeah, I'm cool with you going. Great.
Just >> Yes, sir. I'd ask that just on I I guess the um evening of the 28th to the morning of the the 29th I I have to be lifted during that period >> for all night.
>> Um >> no.
>> Well, I just because so >> Oh, yeah. Yeah. I get No, no, no. I If you go to Dallas, great. You can go to Dallas. Just don't be out in the middle of the night.
>> You're fine going to Dallas. You can go to Alaska. You can go to Abu Dhabi. I don't care. Just don't be out in the middle of the night. I'll be back at 12 at the latest probably >> for a 13-year-old's birthday party.
>> I mean, I I don't know what we're doing, but like probably >> I mean, who the hell's hitting a piñata at 12 at night, man?
>> No, >> I mean, I get it. You know, hitting a piñata at 13, but >> I mean like that, but I got the latest.
>> Fine. Just be smart. That's all we're asking you to do. Just if you see someone doing something wrong, don't get involved into it. It's not hard to comply. We're not asking much from you.
>> Great. For this time, he can have it till midnight. Baby steps and then that's how we do. Trust is very easily broken and it's so very hard to get.
Don't break it. You understand?
>> Okay. All right then. Got it.
>> You got it, man.
>> Is that Mr. Pard over there?
>> Yes.
>> Where's Mr. Pard?
>> He just came and sat down. So nobody really >> come up. Mr. Pauler, >> why are you now getting here at 12:50?
12:45.
>> Well, I've been here.
>> Says who?
>> I don't believe you. Everybody's supposed to check in.
>> Oh, what? Uh, I didn't I didn't actually know.
>> Court starts at 8:30 in the morning. Not at 901, not at 10:35.
You got to be here just like everyone else.
You were charged with criminal trespass.
You're facing up to 180 days in jail and or a five and or a $2,000 fine. We're going to do probable cause. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can be used against you. You have the right to have an attorney present. If you cannot afford one, one will be appointed to you, sir.
Officer was dispatched due to disturbance at Spec's liquor store.
Complainant stated that defendant pulled up in front of the store and parked his vehicle in a handicap spot that attempted to enter the store.
Complainant told defendant to remove his vehicle and park somewhere else because that spot is reserved for handicapped customers. Defendant ignored him and proceeded to go inside the store.
Complainant defendant if he does not move his vehicle, he is not allowed inside. Complainant told defendant he is trespassing and needs to leave.
Defendant ignored him and entered the store. Witness the security guard also told the defendant to leave the store, but defendant ignored him and refused to leave. Witness attempted to grab defendant squirt him out of the store and defendant pushed him off with both hands. Witness attempted to detain defendant and ended up getting in a tussle with him >> over a silly parking space that is reserved for handicap. Stop.
I'm going to find that there's probable cause to go forward with your case. As a condition of your bond, you're ordered not to go back to any specs whatsoever for any reason. If you do, if you pick up a new case, I will revoke your bond, put you in jail. You will not get any more PR bonds. This is not a revolving door. Do you understand, Mr. Pard?
>> Yes, sir.
>> As a condition of your bond, you ordered not to drive unless you have a valid Texas driver license and liability insurance in your name. Does he have a Texas driver's license? Please.
>> Uh, yes. I'm running it right now.
>> Please.
>> Nothing you say at this point matters. I have found probable cause and I'm telling you what the conditions of the case are. You either live to the conditions or you die by the conditions.
You need a lawyer to represent you in this case and we will give you time to go hire a lawyer. So, we're going to reset your case. His license is eligible, your honor.
>> So, at this point, I'm going to have you sign a reset. After that, I'm going to have you take a seat in the jury box. We will have bond conditions created for you to sign. I'm going to protect my community at all costs, Mr. Pard. That includes every parking space. You violate any of these conditions. It's just not going to go well for you. From now on, when we have court, please show up at 8:30 in the morning, check in. If you come late again, there's a very big possibility that I revoke your bond and put you in jail. Do you understand?
reset.
>> Okay. So, I'm going to have you sign a reset. After that, we'll just have you take a seat while we get the bond conditions. Once you sign them, at that point, you'll be free to go.
>> Okay.
>> We don't do stuff here just to be harmful or obtuse just for, you know, that's not the way we do things. But you got to understand, Mr. Martinez, is that >> Tell me why do we have jails?
Why else?
>> Can I follow you so people will get better?
>> Yes, that's absolutely right. It's also for peoples who don't learn their lesson, who come back over and over and over and have one overriding thing that controls their life forever.
With you, there's one thing that has been controlling your life for the last 15 plus years. What is that thing?
>> Right?
And I don't know what the hell it is that cannot get into you to understand and see the fact that on a daily basis in Harris County, someone every day someone dies from an alcoholrelated collision, calamity, accident, mistake, choice, whatever. whatever you want to call it. And we need to do the T-R now >> because I would really like to know what they're going to do with Mr. Martinez in light of So tell me because I I didn't get how many actual DWI does Mr. Martinez have?
>> So he has a deferred here in here in Brazos County.
>> Is he okay? Is he on deferred now?
>> No, it it was in 2022. Okay.
>> From my understanding, it is complete.
>> Okay.
>> And then he was on probation in his uh federal case while he was in the military from what I can see.
>> Is that one still open now?
>> That was a uh probation. Let me see the opening date of conviction.
>> So, it's just those two.
>> Just those two. I mean, still two. It's a lot, but 2019 is whenever you pled guilty in injured probation. You did a one-year probation. So, so please let the system and them know that he has a federal one. So, because they may not catch it so that when they do the T-Raz, they see that he has two actual DWIS because if they run some kind of, you know, like TCIC or NCIC, they might not see it because it's a federal case. So, you know, the reason we have jails and prisons are for people who don't get it. And hopefully you will not make a choice because it's not a mistake. It's a choice where you go out and kill someone. I was watching on the news yesterday of a guy that goes to a bar, has about 12 beers at a bar, then gets into his car, goes to a gentleman's club, and proceeds to take five immediate shots of alcohol. He's so inebriated by the time he gets up to go to his car, he falls down. And they, what do they do? give him a freaking another shot. Gets into a car driving the wrong way down the freeway. Kills two girls. One of them 19 days into being married. 19 days into being married. The other one was a recently made fiance killed.
Now he will be doing 80 years in prison because they sentenced him to 40 years on one. They sent him to another 40 years and they ran it consecutive.
You never know what's going to happen when you get out there. You don't mean to do it. You never wanted to do it, but it happens.
You're charged with driving while intoxicated. Second offense. You're facing up to a year in jail. and or a $4,000 fine. The agreement that you have worked out is one year in Harris County Jail to be probated for two years. This will now reflect as a second actually is it a second conviction?
>> It is actually no. This would be his third conviction. We're working this out in lie of refiling it as a felony offense.
>> No kidding.
>> Yes.
>> Which is why it's a it's a maximum probation. It's two years with a 5 days.
>> So it's actually that many. So they need to know that. You know, there's a very big possibility. You know, one of the things I'm ordering you to do now, Mr. Martinez, is to undergo a a TRAZ, which is an evaluation to see what conditions you you need. It's very well possible that they order you to undergo inpatient treatment. If you do, if they order that, you're going to do it as part of the probation. Do you understand?
>> I understand.
You will do 5 days in confinement starting today, no drugs, alcohol.
You must maintain a guardian interlock, a DWI, repeat offender, education class, one victim impact panel, no breath test refusal.
If you are pulled over driving and an officer asks you to submit a breath test for the next two years, you must do it.
50 hours of community service.
If you fail to live up to this probation, I will issue a warrant for your arrest. We will have a hearing to determine if you violated this agreement. If you do, you were looking at one year in the jail. Do you understand?
>> That's right.
>> You're giving up the right to a trial, right to compel witnesses, to test your behalf, confront, cross-examine your accusers, right to be arraigned, charge, and open court. If you are not a citizen, there are possible immigration consequences. You can be deported, excluded from the country, deny naturalization. You also give up the right to appeal. But this is final today. It's final forever. From now on, if you do ever pick up another DWI, you will be facing up to 10 years in prison.
Is that what it's going to take to get you to finally understand? I don't know.
Many many people here say, "No, I'm never going to do it again. I I'm I'm done. I'm I'm no more alcohol. This, that, you're going to forget about this because time heals all wounds. In 10 years, you're going to forget about all this." But the law never forgets. And I'm telling you, the next time you're pulled over, even if you have the spaintest smell of alcohol, when someone runs you and they see DWI, DWI, DWI, DWI, what the hell do you think you're going to do?
You already know, right? If it walks like a duck and it pops like a duck, how do you think of the offense, sir?
>> Guilty.
>> I'm going to find you guilty. I'll follow the agreement sentence to it.
Good luck to you, sir.
>> Suspended.
>> Two years.
>> Two years.
>> Yeah. Do not drive. I don't want you anywhere near a car. Baby steps. We have to trust you before you even go near a car.
I I have to see substantial compliance and then I'll consider but I mean considerable cons that you're doing well and then we'll go from there. But at this point in time with all this baggage, >> I don't want to put my name on a license and you go out there and kill some time.
I don't need that kind of drama. You understand?
>> I understand.
>> All right. Good luck, sir. Thank you, Mr. G.
>> There's still uh there's something with the open.
I understand the prohibition 2022, but there's something about fees. I don't know. I haven't gone to Braz County. Do you do you owe money in Brazilos?
>> I didn't think so. Um, last time when I went over there to >> do you guys see a cape?
What What gives you the feeling?
>> Well, because they sent him a a letter saying to appear in court and then so he wanted me to represent a mayor.
>> That's that's a big call because that's that's a far drive.
>> Uh, and so I'm >> I don't know. So you're only you here you only have five solid days to do.
After that you're going to get out it just you need to you know because if they issue a warrant and you're here in custody they'll put a hold on you here and then you know I don't know if Bras will come for him or not. I don't know but >> he has a reset date so I think you'll be fine. Uh >> well just just make sure you know don't drive. I'm telling you now, the worst possible thing you can do in this life, Mr. Martinez, is drive. I've ordered you not to drive. We're going to have you sign an affidavit promising us you're not going to drive. I don't care how important it is for you to do this or to that. Find another way. Please do not drive. Do you understand?
>> Okay. All right. All right. Good luck.
>> Thank you.
>> Thank you, Mr. All right. with that.
Thanks to wrap.
