Texas prosecutors have charged Tonya Couch with hindering apprehension of a felon.

Anderson said he was not surprised by the pair seeking the delay.
Bail is set at $1 million with the condition that it be made in open court here in Fort Worth….
In Texas, authorities said the pair had carefully planned their escape, even throwing “something nearly akin to a going-away party”.
US officials were monitoring the cell phone and passed the information along to Mexican authorities, who made the arrest Monday evening.
Mom was sent back to the USA this morning.
“Tonya is now in the custody of California authorities in Los Angeles”.
Tonya Couch was escorted through Los Angeles worldwide airport in handcuffs after her deportation from Mexico, where she was found living in a beach resort with her son, Ethan, in violation of his probation. Marshals’ spokeswoman Laura Vega said agency policy was not to comment on prisoner movements.
Anderson said when Ethan Couch arrives in the United States, he will appear at a detention hearing in the juvenile system.
But the injunction did not apply to Tonya Couch, who was deported immediately, according to an official with Mexico’s National Immigration Institute, who was not authorized to discuss the case and spoke on condition of anonymity.
It has since emerged that Couch and his mother were tracked to the holiday town of Puerto Vallarta after using a phone to order Domino’s Pizza while in hiding; the phone was tracked, and the U.S Marshals Service quickly told authorities of its location. “And it seems to me, if they wanted to, they could pay them as much money as they want to drag this thing out”, Hunter said. The agents determined they could be deported. That ruling gives a judge three days to decide whether the “affluenza” teen has grounds to challenge extradition based on arguments that kicking him out of the country would violate his rights.
The Couches have enough cash to prolong the process, but “we do not have a timeframe”, said Mr Hunter. Couch, the Texas teenager known for using an “aff…”
Will They Ever be Transported Back to Texas? “We’ll see how that washes out”. “We’re patient people. We’ll be waiting”. Ethan Couch got the nickname during his trial.
Ethan Couch has been granted a stay in his deportation case while the legal process in Mexico runs its course, according to his Texas attorneys.
“He is very appreciative of efforts by these and other agencies to safely locate his son”.
Three hours after the crash, tests showed Couch had a blood alcohol content of 0.24, three times the legal limit, prosecutors said.
Fred and Tonya Couch were divorced in 2007, public records show. A conviction could result in between two and 10 years in jail. The house, built in 1974, sits on six acres.
This story has been corrected with the proper spelling of Couch’s last name.
The Tarrant Appraisal District values the house at $343,000.
He pleaded guilty to four counts of intoxication manslaughter and two counts of intoxication assault causing serious bodily injury.
Judge Jean Boyd sentenced Couch to probation over the objections of prosecutors who asked for 20 years’ detention.

The attorney did acknowledge the case, and the lives lost and families destroyed by Ethan Couch’s fatal crash. They fled there after officers in Tarrant County, Texas, started an investigation into whether or not Ethan violated the probation deal that stored him out of jail after he killed 4 individuals together with his pickup truck in 2013.
