Coryell County District Court Schedules April Arraignments, Felony Hearings in Gatesville

Judge Grant Kinsey's 440th Judicial District Court worked through a criminal docket Tuesday in Gatesville that stretched from organized crime and child pornography to high-dollar theft and family-violence assault, with six named defendants appearing on felony matters tied to newly filed indictments and older pending cases alike.

The calendar covered arraignments, pre-trial settings, and information hearings — three procedurally distinct stages that collectively determine whether a case moves toward trial, resolves through a plea agreement, or gets reset for additional proceedings. Tuesday's appearances represented the court's formal management of the felony pipeline, with bond amounts on the docket reflecting the court's ongoing assessment of public-safety risk.

Leon Ray Allen drew the highest listed bond figure on the docket: $100,000 on a pre-trial setting for engaging in organized criminal activity, case number 25-29300. Teela Nicole Barrientes appeared twice, first on a controlled-substance possession charge involving Penalty Group 1 narcotics under one gram (case 25-29372), and again on a separate filing, case 26-29891, alleging she hindered the apprehension or prosecution of a known felon. James Richard Belviy, also listed under the name Warner, was called for arraignment on a possession-of-child-pornography charge involving fewer than 100 visual depictions. Zevian Lamon Cole faced a theft allegation placing the property's value between $30,000 and $150,000, with a $20,000 bond set. Alexander Edward Bielawski was on the docket for evading arrest in a vehicle, and Marcos Frankie Bordoy appeared on an assault charge carrying a family-violence enhancement tied to prior convictions.

The breadth of Tuesday's docket — child exploitation, organized crime, a six-figure bond, and repeat family-violence filings in a single session — signals a sustained felony workload for a court that serves a county of roughly 80,000 residents. The dual listings for Barrientes, spanning case numbers from 2025 and 2026, also point to older matters still working through the system alongside freshly filed indictments.

None of the appearances constitute findings of guilt. A docket is a schedule, not a verdict, and the charges listed are allegations subject to reduction, dismissal, or amendment as attorneys exchange discovery and pretrial motions are heard. Outcomes including guilty pleas, trial settings, acquittals, and sentencing orders are recorded in district-clerk filings and court minutes after each subsequent hearing. The Coryell County District Clerk's office and the county's public docketing pages are the access points for tracking how each matter ultimately resolves. Case-specific inquiries can be directed to the District Clerk's office or Judge Kinsey's docket clerk during regular business hours, with contact information available through the county's official court pages.
