Judge Boyd moves through crowded 187th District docket, orders probation terms and sentences in multiple cases
Judge Stephanie Boyd presided over the 187th District Court docket, calling dozens of criminal matters and issuing a mix of procedural rulings, plea acceptances and sentencing orders.

The most immediate orders included new probation conditions for a defendant identified in court as Mr. Halstead — Judge Boyd extended his community supervision and ordered him to attend sober-support meetings twice weekly and to pay $500 by March 2; she warned, "Don't test positive," and said further positive UAs could prompt a motion to revoke. In State v. Richard Porfirio Gonzalez, the court found a violation of condition 4 true, revoked community supervision and sentenced Gonzales to 18 months in a state-jail facility, with restitution of $2,000 to Molly Goodwin ordered by the court.

The docket also included sentencing and disposition choices. Alfonso Lopez asked the court to probate his sentence after defense described a recent housing placement and support services; Judge Boyd probated a two-year underlying state-jail sentence and placed him on five years' community supervision with an $800 fine, field visits, random UAs, TAP evaluation and other conditions. Rolando Gomez's bond was set at $15,000 under a negotiated agreement; Kenora Adams received deferred adjudication with a $1,000 fine probated and referrals for treatment or veterans' services. David Hernandez entered pleas in multiple matters and the court followed plea agreements, imposing concurrent six-month terms in county custody with $800 fines.

Throughout the docket Judge Boyd emphasized courtroom procedure and compliance obligations — asking counsel to identify the nature of any approach to the clerk (motion to revoke, plea, sentencing) so clerks can prepare correct paperwork, reminding defendants to sign reset forms and to provide restitution funds to the hot-check section when appropriate, and noting calendar constraints (the court will not be able to empanel additional jurors after Dec. 11 because of a capital case). On several matters the court directed parties to return on specified reset dates or to report back the same afternoon after testing was performed.

The hearing closed with administrative instructions to staff and counsel to file required forms and notifications for the next settings. Several defendants were provided resources or referrals (probation assistance, veterans or mental-health treatment) as part of conditions intended to support rehabilitation.

The court's actions on this docket were procedural and case-specific; no jury verdicts were reached on the matters called today.
