The 252nd District Court conducted a lengthy docket that included motions to revoke probation, multiple plea agreements and rejections, a high-profile bond reduction and several trial settings.

Judge presided over motions to revoke community supervision and read allegations to defendants; for example, Derwin Cooley pleaded true to two probation-violation counts and the court found sufficient evidence to revoke his probation and reset the matter for sentencing and an updated presentence report.

Several defendants accepted negotiated dispositions the court followed. Glenda Williford pleaded true to counts that included positive drug tests and a failure-to-complete program; the judge extended her probation by one year and ordered placement in a special-needs safety program. DeMarcus Senegal and others had pleas accepted and were sentenced or had punishments reassessed in accordance with plea agreements.

The court also recorded multiple plea rejections and trial settings. John Jones rejected a 35-year offer in a murder and related cases and asked for trial; the court confirmed the DA may seek to stack any jury sentences. Robert Lowe’s deferred-probation offers on child-exploitation-related charges were rejected by the court, which found the offenses and relationships involved merited greater scrutiny and reset the cases for new negotiation or trial.

In a separate bond hearing, the court reduced Eleazar Stansbury’s bond from $1.5 million to $500,000, subject to strict conditions including residence at 25419 Richton Falls Drive, Richmond, Texas; GPS monitoring; house arrest except for court and attorney visits; and removal of firearms from the home. The court said GPS activation and house arrest would be required before release.

The court repeatedly admonished defendants that guilty pleas or findings of guilt carry collateral consequences, including ineligibility to possess firearms under Texas law and potential immigration consequences.

Most cases were either reset for sentencing with presentence investigations ordered or set for trial where defendants rejected offers. The court moved through the long docket while cautioning defendants that accepted plea offers were final unless the parties negotiated otherwise.

The hearing closed with multiple cases continued or reset to allow probation, defense counsel and prosecutors to complete reports and to permit GPS or bond conditions to be implemented.
