NEW BRAUNFELS — A Comal County jury has sentenced 44-year-old Jeremy Dwayne Parker of Round Rock, Texas, to 99 years in prison following his conviction for Possession with Intent to Deliver a Controlled Substance PG 1 (Methamphetamine) and Evading Arrest or Detention with a Vehicle.
The sentence, handed down on August 8, 2025, requires Parker to serve at least 30 years before being eligible for parole. The jury found that Parker used his vehicle in a manner capable of causing death or serious bodily injury during the 2024 pursuit. Visiting Judge Robert Updegrove presided over the trial.
On February 13, 2024, New Braunfels Police officers attempted to serve multiple felony warrants on Parker in the 600 block of S. Walnut Avenue. Parker fled northbound on IH-35, reaching speeds of 130 mph, swerving through traffic, and driving on medians before being apprehended near Aquarena Springs in San Marcos. A search of his vehicle revealed methamphetamine, drug ledgers, baggies, and a scale.
Jurors reviewed dashcam footage and heard testimony from officers who described Parker as a known drug dealer with a history of possessing large quantities of methamphetamine. They also testified Parker had previously threatened that if stopped by police again, he “would shoot it out” with officers.
During the punishment phase, prosecutors presented evidence of Parker’s prior arrests in 2023, including incidents where officers discovered 250 grams and later 210 grams of methamphetamine, along with a firearm. Jurors also learned of his four prior felony convictions in Travis and Williamson counties.
The Comal County Criminal District Attorney’s Office credited the New Braunfels Police Department, Department of Public Safety, and law enforcement agencies in Hays County, San Marcos, Kyle, and Buda for their work in the investigation.
Assistant District Attorneys Pawandeep Singh and Daniel Floyd prosecuted the case with the assistance of DA Investigator Ashley Eicher and Intern Joshua Wagner.
“This lengthy sentence ensures Parker will no longer pose a threat to the community,” the district attorney’s office stated, underscoring the importance of coordinated efforts between law enforcement and prosecutors in holding dangerous offenders accountable.
