In this courtroom session, several defendants faced serious felony charges and probation matters.

Germaine Duhan pleaded guilty to the third-degree felony offense of obstruction or retaliation. The judge confirmed that his plea was entered freely and voluntarily, that he understood he was waiving his right to appeal under the plea agreement, and that he was aware of potential immigration consequences if applicable. The court found him mentally competent, accepted the plea agreement, and sentenced him to five years in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, with credit for time served. He was also formally admonished that, due to the felony conviction, he is prohibited under Texas law from possessing a firearm or ammunition.

Christopher Bushnell, a 17-year-old who had previously entered guilty pleas to evading arrest with a vehicle and engaging in organized criminal activity, appeared for sentencing consideration. Despite earlier plea agreements recommending deferred probation, the judge rejected the agreements after reviewing 21 jail incident reports detailing repeated misconduct, including fighting and rule violations. Citing public safety concerns and his inability to follow rules while incarcerated, the judge reset the case for further review and warned that continued behavior could result in a lengthy prison sentence.

Mr. Blunt, already on probation for a serious offense, admitted to probation violations. Although the court found the violations true and had grounds to revoke probation, the judge chose to continue him on supervision. He was ordered to complete both the ISF cognitive program and the JCDI drug treatment program. The judge emphasized zero tolerance for future violations and warned that failure would likely result in a long prison sentence.

Finally, Lawrence Marks, charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, received a final case reset to review a new plea offer with counsel before deciding whether to accept a plea or proceed to trial.
