A judge in the 187th District Court found Amanda Marie Hernandez guilty of violating the terms of her deferred adjudication and revoked her community supervision, imposing concurrent sentences in two related 2025 cases.
The court called the matters (2025 CR0000174 and 2025 CR00007073) and confirmed Hernandez had reviewed with counsel Todd Lesard the state's motion to enter an adjudication of guilt and revoke community supervision. Hernandez pleaded “true” to violating condition number five — failing to report to her supervision officer for February, March and April 2026 — and waived the remaining allegations.
After live testimony from Hernandez and representatives of her former sober-living provider, the court concluded the defendant missed mandated contacts with probation and that the provider had discharged Hernandez after a refusal or failure to submit to a urine analysis. Hernandez told the court she had been told to leave the Lifetime facility and disputed that she had knowingly absconded; Erica Shonifer, the house manager, testified the program recorded the discharge as relating to a relapse or refusal to take a UA.
The court accepted a proposed agreement from the state to adjudicate Hernandez, revoke supervision, and impose sentence. The judge sentenced Hernandez to two years in a state jail facility on one cause and to a concurrent four-year prison term on the other cause, with credit for time served. The court entered an affirmative finding of family violence, imposed a $1,500 fine, prohibited contact with named individuals, barred possession of weapons and ammunition, and noted a request for a therapeutic-community placement that the court said it could not compel but would recommend in the judgment.
The judge informed Hernandez of limited appeal rights tied to specific motions and advised her to consult counsel about the weapon prohibition and the process for requesting therapeutic placement upon release.
The court also emphasized that the period in which Hernandez did not report left the defendant’s whereabouts and activities unknown during those months, which informed the court’s decision to grant the state's motion to revoke.
The matter concluded with routine clerk and probation instructions and the court noting credit for any time already served.
