Court revokes probation and sentences Fernando Carmona III to 14 years after finding violations true
The court found several supervision violations by Fernando Carmona III and revoked his deferred adjudication, imposing a 14‑year prison sentence and financial penalties.

State asserted that Carmona violated multiple conditions of community supervision, including failure to report and new offenses; the defendant pled true to the allegations. Defense counsel urged mitigation, noting the defendant’s youth and recent personal hardship. The judge said she did not view Carmona as a good candidate for continued probation given repeated failures to report and the addition of new charges.

The court entered the revocation, made an affirmative finding of a deadly weapon, ordered restitution to Miguel Zapien if applicable, assessed a $1,500 fine, and barred the defendant from residing in households with minors. The court also noted time and fines run concurrently and recognized credit for time served. Defense requested reconsideration of the length of sentence; the court denied the request and imposed the 14-year term.

Defense counsel asked the judge to consider Carmona’s age and changed circumstances; the judge noted those arguments but said prior failures and new criminal conduct weighed against continued community supervision. The court advised the defendant of limited appellate rights arising from a revocation proceeding.

The defendant spoke briefly on his own behalf, describing personal problems and remorse. The court allowed him to sign required certifications and concluded with routine admonitions about sentencing consequences for felony convictions.
