Judge grants deferred adjudication to Jessica Navaro with supervision and CPS-informed conditions

A judge in the 187th District Court deferred adjudication for Jessica Navaro after she entered a no-contest plea in a hindering-apprehension charge and the parties stipulated to the state's exhibits.

The court reviewed the plea and the state's recommendation for deferred adjudication and adopted conditions including two years of community supervision, a $500 fine suspended on probation, 40 hours of community service (which CPS parenting classes may satisfy), restitution, a TAP evaluation, parenting classes, weekly UAs for 90 days (with CPS UAs deemed acceptable), continued counseling in lieu of MRT, supervised contact with her children, proof of employment within 30 days, and an order against employment as a home-health provider or with minors until further notice.

The judge acknowledged an open CPS case and instructed that supervised contact was appropriate while reunification remained in process; the court required regular field visits and asked probation to coordinate CPS compliance verification. The court warned Navaro that if she completes the ordered conditions early, the court may consider early termination of supervision.

The court emphasized the importance of staying current with CPS and probation, and provided standard admonishments about waiver of appeal and review of the stipulations.
