00:00When this repeat offender couldn't even remember her convictions but begged to be with her
00:04granddaughter, the judge wouldn't trust her with his wallet, let alone probation, and sentenced
00:07her to jail. Cause number 25 CR 55, the state of Texas v. Sarah, you were sentenced to two years
00:14in the state jail and that was suspended. You were placed on regular probation for five years
00:18for the state jail felony of theft of service. First amended portion of this motion, you committed
00:24the offense of illegal possession of methamphetamine, a controlled substance, on or about
00:28December 31st, 2025. Is that true and correct? That's true. That's enough to grant a motion
00:33to revoke probation. You had failed to report to Jefferson County for three months why you
00:38were on probation. Did you tell the judge, you know, what was going on with you at that time?
00:43I was struggling. My family, children are in Indiana and I just wanted to be with them and
00:48I was really overwhelmed. I went home with my kids into Indiana and I do struggle with drug
00:53and alcohol abuse. I just miss my kids. My daughter is having a baby and I'm going to be
00:58a grandma and I just really want to be there for her. Why is that important? I messed up
01:01a lot with my kids and I just really want to be there for her. Other than this case,
01:06have you ever been convicted of another offense? I have read it for you. What does that mean?
01:11Read it, I think 13. You have misdemeanors and how many? I believe it's at 11.
01:15You have 24 criminal convictions you're thinking? No. That can't be right. It says of the 26 listed,
01:2113 were dismissed. So she wouldn't have had 26. 13 of those cases was dismissed.
01:26Look, I'm looking at five misdemeanor convictions, five felony convictions. I seem to know more about
01:32your personal life than you do. You can't even tell me how many criminal convictions that you have.
01:37You nonetheless have been convicted too many times. You keep repeating mistakes and now you're worried
01:43about your family? Miss role model? You're supposed to be a role model for your children, aren't you?
01:47You're not going to win mother of the year. In this case, what really is bothersome is you took
01:52a U-Haul, right? Yeah, I took a U-Haul and I was dating a guy and he basically sold
01:57it to this other guy.
01:58Yeah, where's the U-Haul? I don't know, in Louisiana somewhere.
02:01Yeah, these people have lost the U-Haul. That's $30,000. Does it bother you?
02:05Yes, it does bother you. Well, write as a check for $30,000 so we can give it to the
02:08U-Haul people.
02:09If I can get out and get a job to help pay to it. You mean trust you with all
02:14your theft
02:14convictions? I wouldn't let you hold my wallet. Come on, you're dishonest.
02:17You've got a record of dishonesty. I feel sorry for all the people who have been harmed by you.
02:22That's who I feel sorry for, not you. You refuse to learn your lesson.
02:26I really want to be there for my daughter's baby. I know that I've messed up a lot. I can't
02:30take it
02:31back, but I can only try to do better. I'm just really begging you for a chance to be there
02:36for
02:36my grandbaby. All these convictions, now you're upset? You should have been upset the first time
02:41you bowed up, not over and over and over again, and then now later say, well, I'm missing out some
02:47of the blessings of family life. That's what happens. Right versus wrong. Right rewards. Wrong
02:53punishes. Your probation is revoked. You were hereby sentenced to confinement in the state jail for two years.
02:58You're missing out all the time. Don't worry, i'm sorry. How should I do that in the state
02:58for prep looking for one significantestens for 4 years?
02:58We'll see you next time.
