On August 7, 2025, the Honorable Judge Russell Wilson of the 81st/218th District Court granted the State’s motion to revoke probation after the defendant was found to have violated the conditions of his supervision. The Court imposed a sentence of 5 years in custody of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice-Institutional Division, effective immediately.
The original offense occurred on February 11, 2020, when Canion assaulted a LaSalle County Sheriff’s Deputy while the deputy was trying to assist EMS in providing medical treatment to Canion’s mother. The defendant was given an opportunity to rehabilitate and was placed on deferred adjudication probation on October 15, 2020.
The motion to revoke was filed after the defendant was alleged to have assaulted another family member and failed to successfully complete an outpatient drug treatment program. The Court found sufficient evidence that Canion failed to comply with the terms and conditions of probation.
This sentence reflects the seriousness of assaulting a law enforcement officer and the importance of accountability during probation. We are committed to protecting those who serve and enforcing the consequences when probation terms are violated.
