Background

  • Holloway pleaded guilty to aggravated robbery in 2006, received deferred adjudication, four years’ community supervision, and a $1,000 fine.
  • In 2009, the State moved to adjudicate guilt in the aggravated robbery case for supervision violations, and the court continued supervision with new conditions (60 days in jail, treatment, random urinalysis).
  • In 2009, the State filed a second motion to adjudicate guilt in the assault involving family violence (and unpaid fees), Holloway pleaded guilty to the assault in 2010, with deferred adjudication and a four-year supervision term, plus a $500 fine, and the aggravated robbery supervision was extended by two years.
  • On December 28, 2010, the State moved to adjudicate guilt in both cases, alleging THC positives and failure to report to his probation officer.
  • The October 11, 2011 hearing proceeded; Holloway admitted true to THC positives and failure to report after acknowledging rights and waiving them, and indicated he would abide by conditions if continued on supervision.
  • The trial court granted the motions, adjudicated Holloway guilty on both offenses, and sentenced six years’ imprisonment on each offense.
