In a significant ruling on May 15, 2025, Judge Stephanie Boyd of the 187th District Court sentenced defendant Mister Cooley to two years in a state jail facility after he failed to report to probation over several months in 2024. Cooley, who had been on probation for approximately 18 months, explained that his busy work schedule and travel between San Marcos and San Antonio hindered his ability to check in with his probation officer. However, Judge Boyd expressed dissatisfaction with his excuses, emphasizing the importance of communication with probation authorities.

During the hearing, Cooley confirmed that he had completed several requirements of his probation, including a DWI education program and a family parent class. However, he was unable to provide documentation of these completions at the time of the hearing. Judge Boyd indicated that if Cooley's attorney could present proof of his completed classes, she would reconsider the two-year sentence.

The court also noted that Cooley had been in custody for 60 days, which could potentially influence the final decision regarding his sentence. Judge Boyd made it clear that while she would not continue his probation, she remained open to reviewing any evidence of compliance with probation conditions.

This ruling underscores the court's strict stance on probation violations and the necessity for defendants to maintain communication with their probation officers. The outcome of this case serves as a reminder of the importance of accountability and the potential consequences of failing to adhere to court-mandated requirements.
