Judge revokes Victor Alvarez's probation, imposes four-year prison term after substance-treatment discharge

A judge found that the state proved a violation of Victor Alvarez Jr.'s community supervision related to his treatment plan and revoked his probation, sentencing him to four years in prison and imposing a $1,000 fine. The court recommended placement in a therapeutic community and credited Alvarez for time already served.

The violation alleged by the state concerned condition number 55: failure to comply with rules or instructions of the Bexar County Community Supervision and Corrections Department substance-abuse continuum of care and an unsuccessful discharge from the Austin Transitional Center. The state presented a proposed agreement that would have resulted in a three-year sentence, but after argument and a factual colloquy the court found the violation true and announced a four-year term.

Prosecutors stated the alleged violations included a refused drug test, a reported "fake UA," and possession of drug paraphernalia while in a rehabilitation center. Defense counsel acknowledged the client’s addiction history and indicated the client had refused a drug test; the defendant also addressed the court and disputed some factual details. The judge explained the consequences of a true finding, including the possible four-year sentence and the fine, and then imposed the four-year term with credit for time served and a $1,000 fine. The judge also noted the therapeutic-community recommendation and explained that the sentence carries collateral consequences, including limitations on weapons possession tied to felony convictions.

Court admonishments and the trial-court certification of rights to appeal were placed on the record; the judge described the limited right to appeal from a revocation order. The disposition reflects both the court's factual finding of the violation and the court's sentencing decision following the state's motion to revoke supervision.
