deferred adjudication<\/a> where a defendant agrees to conditions in court, a PTD occurs before going to trial. Pretrial diversion in Texas \u201cis essentially a second chance,\u201d where a person avoids \u201cprosecution by completing specific requirements set by the prosecutor.\u201d<\/p>\nA pretrial diversion does not require a defendant to plead guilty in court like deferred adjudication where the guilty plea is held until the completion of the requirements for the deferment.<\/p>\n
In PTD, the defendant agrees to certain conditions set by the prosecutor and when completed, the prosecutor dismisses the charges.<\/p>\n
Max Grossman PTD Requirements<\/p>\n
El Paso Herald Post reviewed the PTD court records for Max Grossman.<\/p>\n
According to the agreement Grossman signed on November 26, 2025, he agreed to waive a speedy trial on the charges he was facing and if the PTD is completed, in addition to yesterday\u2019s case dismissal, Grossman can have his \u201ccriminal record expunged.\u201d However, as part of the agreement Grossman signed, the expungement of the criminal charges filed against him and his arrest remain available to the District Attorney\u2019s office \u201cin an internal database.\u201d<\/p>\n
In agreeing to PTD, Grossman was required to not commit other offenses, not change his address or consume alcohol or illegal drugs and follow a \u201ccorrective program\u201d set by the prosecutors.<\/p>\n
Grossman was required to participate in a \u201cVictim Impact Panel\u201d to successfully complete the requirements of his PTD agreement.<\/p>\n
El Paso Herald Post reached out to the El Paso District Attorney\u2019s Office for comment about Grossman\u2019s case.<\/p>\n
In an email this morning, Stephanie Valle, Special Projects Administrator for the District Attorney\u2019s Office wrote that:<\/p>\n
\u201cMax Grossman\u2019s case has been referred to pre-trial diversion (PTD), which allows a first-time offender to complete certain terms and conditions in exchange for dismissal of the case. The decision to refer the Defendant to pre-trial diversion was made after a comprehensive review of the facts and circumstances of the case, the strength of the evidence, and the Defendant\u2019s lack of criminal history.<\/p>\n
In the attachment [see above], you will see that the Defendant must comply with all conditions of his existing bond, must pay a supervision fee, may not use alcohol or drugs, not commit any new offenses, and complete classes as prescribed.<\/p>\n
As part of the diversion agreement, a defendant must partially waive their right to an expunction so that the District Attorney\u2019s Office can maintain a record of their participation so that a defendant may not receive diversion again in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n
Several open civil cases involving Grossman and his former spouse remain open in court. As more information becomes available, we will report on them.<\/p>\n
