Trial Court No. 2019CR9959

REVERSED AND REMANDED

Appellant, Christopher Daniel Beltran, was indicted on two counts of burglary of a

habitation. TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 30.02. The trial court deferred adjudication and placed

Beltran on community supervision. The order of deferred adjudication required Beltran to

participate in residential treatment at a Substance Abuse Felony Punishment Facility (“SAFPF”).

Beltran served a period at the SAFPF, and then he was released to an aftercare transitional center.

Beltran later relapsed, and the trial court amended his community supervision terms to provide
04-25-00225-CR

that Beltran enter the SAFPF “Relapse” residential treatment program. After Beltran was released

from the SAFPF Relapse program, he was to continue treatment at another aftercare transitional

center. Beltran, however, left the transitional center. The State then moved to adjudicate Beltran’s

guilt and revoke his community supervision.

On March 25, 2025, the trial court signed two judgments adjudicating Beltran guilty of

burglary of a habitation and sentencing him to concurrent terms of imprisonment for ten years.

Each judgment indicates that Beltran is entitled to 977 days of credit, which reflects time that he

had already served while in federal custody. However, neither judgment provides total credit for

the periods that Beltran served at the SAFPF and SAFPF Relapse.

On appeal, Beltran contends that he is entitled to an additional 344 days of credit for the

total time that he served at the SAFPF and SAFPF Relapse. See TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art.

42A.755(d). 1 The State concedes error. Accordingly, we sustain Beltran’s sole issue. We reverse

and remand this matter to the trial court for it to reform the judgments to include credit for the total

time that Beltran served at the SAFPF and SAFPF Relapse.
