A Laredo woman is headed to prison after a judge canceled her second chance in a 2022 drive-by shooting. Kassandra Calderon admitted she fired about three shots into a Santa Rita neighborhood home from a moving truck.

Calderon's case shows that a deal to skip a conviction is not a free pass in Texas. She got that deal in 2024. Two years later, a judge sent her to prison anyway after she broke the rules.

Judge Monica Z. Notzon sits on the 111th District Court. She revoked Calderon's deferred adjudication after Calderon admitted she broke her probation rules on July 13. Calderon was sentenced soon after.

Calderon got two years in a state prison for deadly conduct by discharging a firearm. That is a felony that can mean two to 10 years behind bars and a fine up to $10,000. She also got one year in the Webb County Jail for having a controlled pill without a prescription. That charge can mean up to a year in jail and a $4,000 fine. Both sentences run at the same time. She gets credit for time she already served.

Deferred adjudication is a deal. It lets a defendant skip a conviction if they follow strict rules, like probation and drug tests. Calderon pleaded guilty to both charges in 2024. A judge deferred a guilty finding instead of convicting her right away.

This was not the state's first try to send Calderon to prison. Prosecutors first asked a judge to revoke her deal in May 2025. They pulled that request back in December 2025. The court had added a new rule. Calderon had to go to inpatient drug treatment. Prosecutors tried again in June 2026. This time, Calderon admitted she broke the rules.

The case goes back to July 4, 2022. Laredo police got a call the next morning about damage at a home. The house sits in the 300 block of Soria Drive in the Santa Rita neighborhood. The homeowner had been out of town during the shooting. He found a shattered front door window, bullet holes, and bullet fragments when he got home.

Police said security video showed a white pickup driving west on Soria Drive. It was a Chevrolet or GMC. Three flashes that looked like gunfire came right after. Investigators later linked the truck to a white 2015 GMC Sierra tied to Calderon.

Calderon turned herself in about a month later. She called police through her mother on Aug. 1, 2022. She told investigators a man was driving the truck. Crystal Cantu sat in the front seat. Calderon sat in the back, behind the driver. Calderon said the driver handed her a gun and she fired about three shots at the house. She said the shooting was not planned. Police also said they found Xanax pills in her car during the search.

Calderon and Cantu were both arrested on warrants Sept. 13, 2022. Investigators say Cantu and Calderon had threatened to hurt the homeowner's daughter before the shooting. Cantu was also charged with failing to report a felony.

Cantu's case did not end the same way. She was indicted in March 2024 on the deadly conduct charge and the failure to report charge. She missed a court date. Prosecutors had to use a legal order to bring her to court while she was already in custody. She pleaded not guilty at her arraignment in May 2024, and the case was headed for a jury trial. Prosecutors dropped both charges against her in June 2024. Her case is closed. She was never convicted.

Calderon's plea deal is done now. She is serving her sentence with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and in the Webb County Jail. She gets credit for time she already spent locked up. Her case is a reminder that a deferred adjudication deal in Texas is not the end of a case. A person on probation can break the rules years later and still land in prison. Prosecutors can ask a judge to send them away for the original crime.
