Court orders deferred adjudication and monthly restitution payments in Jan Madura case

Summary

Judge Stephanie Boyd granted deferred adjudication for Jan Madura, confirmed prior payments and ordered remaining restitution of $9,799.42 to Berkshire Hathaway and $497.71 to Visa, to be paid at $500 per month; additional conditions include 80 community-service hours and regular probation reporting.

At sentencing in State v. Jan Madura the court imposed two years of deferred adjudication and set a payment schedule for outstanding restitution. The judge recorded that $1,077.01 had been paid previously to the Junior League of San Antonio and set remaining restitution: $9,799.42 to a Berkshire Hathaway payee and $497.71 to Visa.

"Based upon my calculations, you should be able to have this paid off before the 2 years," Judge Stephanie Boyd said while imposing a $500 per month payment plan. The court also imposed 80 hours of community service restitution, regular reporting by Zoom or in person, and monthly field visits for five months.

Context: the court clarified the offense was proceeded on as a lesser-included theft (between $750 and $2,500) treated as a Class A misdemeanor for disposition, and it tailored the restitution order to identify specific payees and amounts on the record.

Outcome and next steps: Madura must provide proof of employment within 30 days and adhere to the payment schedule. The court set follow-up dates and reminded counsel that communication with probation is key to avoid future compliance issues.
