Celia Nicole Camacho v. the State of Texas

Summary

The Seventh Court of Appeals of Texas affirmed the trial court’s adjudication of Celia Nicole Camacho’s guilt for injury to a child and twelve-year sentence after finding that she violated deferred-adjudication community supervision by committing theft. The court held that sufficient circumstantial evidence supported the theft violation and reformed the judgment to reflect that Camacho pleaded “Not True” to the motion to revoke.

Holdings

1. The evidence was sufficient for the trial court to find by a preponderance of the evidence that Camacho committed theft and violated a condition of community supervision. The trial court therefore did not abuse its discretion in adjudicating her guilt.
2. The appellate court reformed the judgment to state that Camacho pleaded "Not True" to the motion to revoke and ordered the trial court to prepare and file a corrected judgment.

Questions Presented

1. Whether sufficient evidence supported the trial court's finding that Camacho violated the terms of deferred-adjudication community supervision by committing theft.
2. Whether the judgment should be reformed to state that Camacho pleaded not true, rather than true, to the motion to revoke.

Disposition

affirmed
