Judge Stevens Jr. Loses Patience as Felony Cases Stall for Over a Year

In a tense Texas felony docket, Judge Stevens Jr. confronts a growing backlog of cases that have stalled for over a year, warning attorneys and defendants that delays will no longer be tolerated. The court reviews multiple third-degree and second-degree felony cases, including aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon, and felony DWI with prior convictions. Several matters are reset for announcements, while others escalate after failures to appear, resulting in bench warrants, increased bond, and GPS monitoring conditions. Judge Stevens Jr. also denies appointed counsel to a defendant after reviewing a high reported income, emphasizing that taxpayers will not fund private defense for non-indigent defendants. Elsewhere, the court considers Veterans Court eligibility, reviews discovery delays, and accepts guilty pleas before setting future sentencing hearings. This hearing highlights: • How courts respond when felony cases stall too long • Bench warrants and bond increases for failure to appear • Indigency rulings and the right to counsel • Pleas, resets, and sentencing preparation ⚖️ All defendants are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law. 📄 Presented for educational and documentary purposes only. #JudgeStevensJr #TexasFelonyCourt #CourtCam #FelonyDocket #BenchWarrant #FailureToAppear #RightToCounsel #IndigencyHearing #VeteransCourt #AggravatedAssault #FelonyDWI #JusticeSystem
