JEFFERSON COUNTY — A former game warden featured in the popular ‘Lone Star Law’ television reality show has pled guilty to a felony crime in Jefferson County.
Justin Eddins is charged with making a false statement to obtain property or credit worth at least $300,000.
He’s indicted on similar charges in three other counties.
Eddins pled guilty to the Jefferson County charge Monday in the 252nd District Court, presided over by Judge Raquel West.
He faced up to life in prison for the 1st degree felony, but a plea agreement between the prosecution and defense would keep him out of jail.
“It looks like the agreement that you’ve reached is for a five-year deferred probation,” said Judge West during the Monday hearing. “There would be a $500 fine. Any restitution?”
The prosecutor said no restitution is called for under the plea agreement.
The judge ordered a pre-sentencing report and will sentence Eddins at a later date.
