However, that hearing was later canceled. <\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">It is unclear when Cantu will make his next court appearance regarding the evading arrest charges. <\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">According to court records, Cantu is expected back in court for a Dec. 4 burglary of a habitation incident on March 5, 2026. <\/p>\n<p>Cantu arrested for a sixth time<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">According to an affidavit, Cantu allegedly stole the tablet of a woman with whom he shares a child on Dec. 4 and used it to message her friends. <\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Cantu was charged with burglary of a habitation, the affidavit stated. <\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">However, in court records obtained by KSAT, the alleged burglary victim asked the court and the Bexar County District Attorney\u2019s Office to drop the charge. <\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">The woman, identified as Emily Proulx, said in the documents that she is \u201cnot fearful of him (Cantu) harming or threatening\u201d her. <\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Proulx also requested that Cantu\u2019s bond conditions be reduced and that his house arrest and GPS monitoring requirements be removed, records indicate. <\/p>\n<p>Cantu avoids prison time, sentenced to 8 years of probation<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">The burglary incident happened less than one month after Cantu was sentenced to eight years of probation for violating the terms of his probation from evading cases last year. <\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">If Cantu violates conditions within those eight years, his sentence would balloon to 10 years in prison.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">In October 2024, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ksat.com\/news\/ksat-investigates\/2025\/10\/13\/erik-cantu-to-face-judge-after-latest-arrest-could-face-prison-time\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.ksat.com\/news\/ksat-investigates\/2025\/10\/13\/erik-cantu-to-face-judge-after-latest-arrest-could-face-prison-time\/\">Cantu skipped a drug screening and was seen driving a motor vehicle, which were violations of his probation<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">A warrant was issued for his re-arrest, and Cantu was taken back into custody in November 2024.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\"><b>More recent Erik Cantu coverage on KSAT: <\/b><\/p>\n<p>Copyright 2025 by KSAT &#8211;
