Dallas judge Roberto Canas called the hearing Tuesday because Manziel missed a deadline to provide the court an update on how the former Cleveland player was meeting stipulations that include him participating in a substance-abuse program through the NFL or something similar. The judge has now agreed to let Manziel continue with his plea deal. <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Manziel, a Tyler native, said in court that he was slow to meet the condition because he didn&#8217;t trust the NFL and planned to work through the players&#8217; association. The 24-year-old Manziel faced a misdemeanor charge that carried a penalty of up to a year in jail and a $4,000 fine after he was accused of hitting and threatening former girlfriend Colleen Crowley during a night out in January 2016.  Following the judge&#8217;s decision Tuesday, Manziel will remain out of jail &#8212; and can have the case erased from his record if he sticks to the deal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DALLAS (AP\/Staff) \u00e2\u20ac\u201d Johnny Manziel is trying to reassure a judge concerned that the Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback isn&#8217;t being serious about the conditions of getting his domestic violence case dismissed, saying his &#8220;life is trending upward&#8221; and that he is &#8220;taking care of this.&#8221; And apparently Manziel is having some success.
