Tonya Couch Trial

Tonya Couch faces felony charges of hindering apprehension and money laundering for traveling to Mexico with her son after an apparent violation of his parole after causing a deadly drunk driving crash in 2013.

Couch, the mother of “affluenza teen” Ethan Couch, is accused of withdrawing $30,000 from a bank account and fleeing with her son to Mexico after he skipped a probation appointment in 2015. She is charged with money laundering and hindering the apprehension of a felon and has been free on bond since January 2016.

Ethan Couch, 20, killed four people in a drunken-driving crash in southern Tarrant County in 2013. He received 10 years’ probation in the case and is serving time in jail as a condition of the probation.

In December 2015 he and his mother went missing after he skipped a probation appointment. They were arrested a few weeks later in a Mexican resort town and taken back to Texas.
