Man Sentenced to Four Years in Prison for Fatal New Caney Crash Dillon Jeffrey Ware, of Porter, pleaded guilty to manslaughter on October 28th, 2026, and received a four-year Texas prison sentence. Montgomery County court records confirm Judge Donna Hansen entered the conviction and sentence in the 523rd Judicial District Court.

The driver and passenger were injured, and the passenger, identified in local reporting as 94-year-old Ramona Meador, later died. Court records show Ware was indicted on November 20th, 2025. The conviction and sentence may still be subject to appeal or other post-conviction proceedings.
