Murder suspect returns to Texas to face charges

After months in Nebraska, a Texas teen is back in his home state to face charges in the death of his mother.

According to Harris County, Texas jail records, 18-year-old Tyler Roenz has been booked into one of their facilities on Wednesday.

He’s due in court next week in Harris County, Texas to face these charges.

Bond set at more than $1M for teen accused of killing his mother, whose body was found in trunk of car

At the time of their disappearance, Tyler Roenz was out on a $15,000 bond for a third-degree felony charge after a high school student said he tried to sexually assault her during an attack in February of last year.

If Tyler Roenz is able to post bond this time, he is not allowed to contact his father and will be under 24-hour house arrest.

IMO
Surprised his sister was not contact list (possibly not stated in article)

18-year-old will be put on trial in 2024 for his mom's murder if he doesn't take plea deal: Judge
SBM

The prosecution offered Roenz a plea deal, which would be to spend 50 years in a Texas prison for the murder of his mother and 10 years for the attempted sexual assault he's charged with. If Roenz takes that plea deal, prosecutors would also drop the charges for unauthorized use of a motor vehicle and tampering with evidence in exchange for a guilty plea.

If he does not take the plea deal offered on Monday, they will be back in court on Nov. 1 and will likely pick a trial date then. The judge said if there is a trial, it would take place in early 2024.

I can't find an update to this story. I'm guessing he declined the plea deal and will head to trial but see no recent updates in MSM.

Looks like the next court date is April 4, 2024. I am attaching a screenshot from the electronic repository of Harris County Criminal Records (hcdistrictclerk.com; you do have to register to be able to view search results, but it’s free).

Do we infer from that that he declined the plea?

I think so--they probably wouldn't have gone to the trouble of setting a trial date unless they were certain it was going to go to trial, right?

So he took a plea deal after all, it seems. I have not seen any reporting on this, but I do wonder how TR's father feels about this sentence.
