Overview
- Former Uvalde CISD officer Adrian Gonzales is set for trial Jan. 5 in Corpus Christi on 29 counts of abandoning or endangering a child after a venue change from Uvalde.
- Early January settings include Jacob LaGrone’s Jan. 8 assault-on-officers trial in Tarrant County, a Jan. 9 trial for Joshua Stewart in the Harris County deputy Darren Almendarez case, and a Jan. 20 trial for ex–Missouri City officer Robin Williams.
- February features multiple major cases: Christopher Preciado’s capital murder trial in San Antonio without a death-penalty seek, Dallas rapper Markies “Yella Beezy” Conway’s capital murder trial on Feb. 2, Terry Bryan Rivera’s capital murder trial on Feb. 6, and Brad Simpson’s jury selection on Feb. 13.
- Officer-involved and spring cases on the calendar include former SAPD officer James Brennand’s trial expected in March, former Harris County detention officer Eric Niles Morales on April 6, death-penalty seeker Tanner Horner on April 7, and Karmelo Anthony on June 1.
- Scheduling is shaped by venue transfers, missing remains in several murder cases, a gag order in the Frisco stabbing case, and evidentiary hurdles such as a deported victim in a Ward County prosecution.
