Atascosa County - Woman Sentenced to 9 Years for Drug Offense

April Marie Segura, 41, has been sentenced to nine years in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice–Institutional Division for Possession of a Controlled Substance with Intent to Deliver.

Segura entered a guilty plea on October 7, 2025.

The charges stem from an incident on June 13, 2024, in Pleasanton. Officer Villa with the Pleasanton Police Department was conducting routine traffic checks when he observed a vehicle commit an unsafe turn. The vehicle was familiar to Officer Villa from a previous narcotics-related stop. Upon stopping the car and engaging with the occupants, officers discovered narcotics inside the vehicle. Further investigation and information provided by the individuals led law enforcement to a room at the Super 8 Motel, where a search warrant was executed. April Segura was found inside the room in possession of approximately 30 grams of methamphetamine.

Drug trafficking poses a serious threat to the safety and health of our communities. Many of our property and violent crimes stem from drug use. Thanks to the diligence of the Pleasanton Police Department and the efforts of our Border Prosecution Unit prosecutor, Kenny Lam, a significant quantity of methamphetamine was removed from the streets, and a another drug dealer is held accountable. This sentence reflects our ongoing commitment to holding drug offenders accountable.
