This sentence shall run concurrently unless otherwise specified.
On the date stated above, the Defendant entered a plea of No Contest to the offense
stated above and was granted a deferred adjudication in the above numbered and styled cause.
The Defendant was placed on community supervision as stated above, subject to the conditions
of supervision set out in the order in this cause. Thereafter, and during the period of supervision,
the State filed a motion to adjudicate in this cause, alleging that the Defendant had violated
conditions of supervision set out in said order.
On the date stated above, the above numbered and entitled cause was regularly reached
and called for a hearing on the motion to adjudicate, and the State appeared by the attorney stated
above, and the Defendant and the Defendant's attorney, as stated above, were also present.
Thereupon both sides announced ready for the hearing, and the Defendant, Defendant's attorney,
and the Defendant waived the reading of the motion to adjudicate, and, upon being asked by the
Court as to how the defendant pleaded, entered a plea of Not true to the allegations in the
motion to adjudicate.
Thereupon, the Defendant was admonished by the Court of the consequences of the plea;
it appeared to the Court that the Defendant was competent and that the defendant was not
influenced in making said plea by any consideration of fear or by an persuasion prompting said
plea; and the Court received the free and voluntary plea, which is now entered of record in the
minutes of the court. The Court, after hearing all of the evidence for the State and the Defendant
and arguments of counsel, was of the opinion and found that the Defendant violated the
conditions of community supervision as stated above.
The Court then adjudicated the Defendant guilty of the offense stated above and found
the offense was committed on the date stated above. A presentence investigation report
was not required or done. After hearing additional evidence on the issue of punishment, if any,
the Court then assessed punishment as stated above.
And thereupon the Court asked the Defendant whether the Defendant had anything to say
why said sentence should not be pronounced upon said Defendant, and the Defendant answered
nothing in bar thereof. Whereupon the Court proceeded to pronounce sentence upon said
Defendant as stated above.
It is therefore ORDERED, ADJUDGED and DECREED by the Court that the defendant
is guilty of the offense staled above, the punishment is fixed as stated above, and the State of
Texas do have and recover of said defendant all court costs in this prosecution expended, for
which execution will issue.
