Court accepts deferred adjudication for Edgar Palasios; orders probation conditions and community service

In CR00005918, the defendant Edgar Palasios pleaded no contest to possession (penalty group 1) and the court accepted an agreement for deferred adjudication, imposing conditions intended to support rehabilitation and supervision.

The court canvassed the defendant about the plea and the consequences of deferred adjudication, including potential future sentencing exposure if deferred adjudication were revoked. The State proceeded on count two and recommended deferred adjudication. The defendant entered a no-contest plea consistent with the agreement. The judge accepted the stipulation and found the state’s exhibits sufficient to support the plea.

The court sentenced Palasios to five years deferred adjudication with regular reporting by Zoom or in person, random UAS, 120 hours of community service, MRT (with 60 hours deemed satisfied after completion), $1,200 in fines probated, $120 restitution for laboratory testing, and monthly field visits for the first six months. The court also ordered no possession of firearms and other conditions designed to aid compliance.

The court approved the deferred disposition and excused the defendant after completing the necessary forms.
