Court restores bond at original $10,000 for Alberto Alejandro Lara Sanchez; conditions ordered

A defendant appearing by Zoom, Alberto Alejandro Lara Sanchez, had bond set at the original $10,000 after the court found his earlier failure to appear was not willful.

Defense counsel Lewis Martinez told the court that his client missed a July 1 court date because he did not receive notice. The defendant confirmed on Zoom he was unaware of the calendar date. The court found, based on counsel's representations and the defendant's testimony, that the failure to appear was non-willful and set bond at $10,000, with conditions addressing substance use and community supervision.

The court discussed substance-use screening and proposed conditions of bond: either enrollment in sober-support meetings or regular UA monitoring (the court ordered the UA hotline for 30 days if appropriate) and waived certain fees where noted. The court set a return/reset date of Aug. 6 and directed counsel to notify the defendant of the date. Probation and defense will coordinate to communicate conditions and next steps.

The court also inquired about pending DWI matters affecting conditions and reminded the defendant that reporting to probation promptly after any transfer or release is required to avoid warrants.

The court clerk was directed to file the bond paperwork immediately.
