El Paso Cocaine Delivery Sentences and Case Outcomes
Texas cocaine-delivery cases can differ sharply in quantity, participation, and whether a custodial term is suspended. These two Texas state court records describe transactions at El Paso locations; independent precise municipal-point qualification remains open. Neither is a federal importation case, and a probated sentence is not described as time actually served.
Evidence scope: Two retained prosecution clusters. Relevant agency narratives or complete court-opinion copies were read September 29, 2026 UTC; precise incorporated-city offense-point qualification, full historical-law checking and complete later-docket review remain open. These selected records are not a citywide distribution, an average or a prediction. An imposed term is not proof of time actually served.
Offense and jurisdiction
The reproduced opinions uphold delivery convictions under party liability: the defendant need not be the person who physically hands over the cocaine. Gomez’s indictment alleged three alternative manners of delivery, not three separately established convictions. No current statutory punishment range is supplied for these historical judgments.
Observed outcomes
| Case | El Paso offense connection | Final outcome and scope |
|---|---|---|
| Enrique Villanueva | Bassett Shopping Center parking lot, El Paso | 15 years for delivery of 400 grams or more; No. 08-03-00304-CR, trial 20030D00189. Affirmed November 18, 2004, not a reverified original sentencing day |
| Patricia Gomez | Bobby’s Place bar in El Paso; September 13, 2004 | Two-year state-jail term probated for four years after jury conviction and punishment agreement; No. 08-06-00193-CR, trial 20050D00843. Affirmed August 16, 2007; original sentencing day not established here |
How to read these sentences
Villanueva’s fifteen years followed a conviction involving at least 400 grams. Gomez’s conviction involved less than one gram and resulted in a two-year state-jail term probated for four years. It would be misleading to compare those as two actual prison stays or convert them into a routine El Paso cocaine sentence. Co-participants in either transaction count only once for the evidence threshold.
Did Gomez serve two years in state jail according to this source?
The opinion says the term was probated for four years. It does not establish that the two-year custodial term was served, and this article does not imply it was.
