Bryant Sentenced to Multiple 15 Year Prison Terms
On July 25, 2019, Thomas Clyde Bryant Jr. pled guilty to five (5) second degree felony offenses and was sentenced to fifteen (15) years’ incarceration in each of the matters in the Texas Department of Corrections Criminal Justice Institutional Division by the Honorable Judge Charles Mitchell, visiting judge for the 123rd Judicial Court.  

 

Bryant pled guilty to one count of Sexual Performance of a Child, two counts of Attempted Sexual Performance of a Child, and two counts of Online Solicitation of a Minor.  The offenses were all second-degree felonies that carry a maximum punishment of twenty years’ incarceration.  Mr. Bryant will be required to serve at least one-half of the sentences before being eligible for parole and will be under a lifetime requirement to register as a sex offender when he is ultimately released.  

 

The District Attorney would like to commend Investigator Chad Brown of the Shelby County Sheriff’s office for his hard work and quick thinking in these matters.  Also, these cases provide a stark reminder to all parents to remain vigilant in the monitoring of their children’s on-line and social media presence.

Docket Call for Older Cases Result in Resolution of 75 Cases

This past week, Shelby County District Attorney, Stephen Shires, scheduled a number of older, pending cases for docket/status hearings over three days (Wednesday –Friday) in both the 123rd and 273rd District Courts.  In all, 165 matters were called for status conferences.  Seventy-five (75) cases were disposed of.  Additionally, in State v. Jackson, the defendant received 8 years’ incarceration in the Texas Department of Corrections Criminal Justice Institutional Division for forgery and two 24 month sentences in the State Jail Division for drug-related offenses.  A number of defendants did not appear in Court and, as a result, have warrants issued for their arrest.  The remaining cases have been placed on a scheduling order for trial in the October-January trial terms.
