00:00Do you take medication for your seizures?
00:01Yes, sir.
00:01He's taken advantage of the court's leniency.
00:03We've sent him to Safe Peak twice.
00:06When this repeat offender blamed a possible seizure for his public intoxication violation,
00:10the judge pointed to years of failed chances and sentenced him to prison after he continued breaking the court's trust.
00:16All right, sir, are you Byron Jamal Morris?
00:18Yes, ma'am.
00:18On probation for the second-degree felony offensive burglary of a habitation count.
00:23One alleges you committed that new offensive public intoxication November 6th of 2025,
00:27and in that case, you still want to remain with your no-not-true.
00:33And then count four alleges that you failed to abstain from the use of any and all intoxicating substances,
00:38including alcohol, and that you admitted to using alcohol.
00:41Is that true or not true?
00:43Yes, ma'am.
00:44We arrived on scene, entered the gas station, and observed a person asleep at the machine.
00:49Tempted to arouse him.
00:51He did not wake up.
00:52Woke up after a few more conversations between my partner and I.
00:54He woke up, immediately smelled alcohol, observed bright glassy eyes.
00:58Also be due to seizures, maybe?
01:00I'm not.
01:01You don't know about that?
01:01Okay.
01:01Were you intoxicated on that night?
01:03No, sir.
01:03Okay.
01:04Why were you asleep on that night?
01:05I think I had a seizure.
01:06Okay.
01:06And you are prone to seizures, aren't you?
01:08Yes, sir.
01:08The officer says he smelled some alcohol.
01:10Why would he be smelling alcohol on your brain?
01:12All that I remember was I might have had an open container.
01:15I really don't remember them.
01:16So you admit that you might have been drinking alcohol on that night?
01:19I had a little bit, sir.
01:19But you don't think you were intoxicated?
01:21No, sir.
01:22You're saying that you had a seizure, and as a result of the seizure, you had passed out
01:26to the point that verbal stimulus and physical stimulus did not arouse you, correct?
01:31Yes, sir.
01:31Do you take medication for your seizures?
01:33Yes, sir.
01:33How often do you take?
01:34Twice a day.
01:35Do you know how alcohol affects that?
01:36I'm not really.
01:37So you have no idea what alcohol does to that drug?
01:40Well, I don't drink like that, y'all, sir.
01:42Well, you drink often because you were pled true to count four, and you just admitted that
01:47you were drinking on the day that you were arrested, right?
01:49Yes, sir.
01:49At this time, based on the evidence that's been presented, I'm going to find count one
01:53true.
01:54You did commit the offense of public intoxication.
01:57Mr. Morris has been on probation since 2016.
01:59His parent passed away.
02:00They were the support for him.
02:01They were able to give him some guidance while he was on probation.
02:04He was doing well while they were alive.
02:05We would ask the court to let this time that he's been in jail serve as sanctions and let
02:09the probation expire.
02:10He's taken advantage of the court's leniency.
02:12We've sent him to save Pete twice.
02:13He has not gotten any benefit from all the programs that have been offered.
02:19He's been given every opportunity, and just letting it expire would be not justice in this
02:24case.
02:24We would ask for a significant amount of time in prison.
02:26I'm looking back at that original PSI.
02:29It was a cap of eight years in prison.
02:31And on that day, I gave you the opportunity for this probation.
02:36This is your third motion to revoke.
02:37You've been given those opportunities at SafeP twice, and you're still doing what you're
02:42doing.
02:43You're lucky that the agreement in this is for a cap of five years.
02:46The cap went down from the original.
02:48I'm going to follow this agreement, but you're very lucky.
02:51I'm going to sentence you to a term of five years in the Institutional Division of the Texas
02:55Department of Corrections.
02:57I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say,
02:57I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say,
02:57I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say,
02:57I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say,
02:57I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say,
02:57I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say,
02:57I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say,
02:57I'm going to say, I'm going to say
