They already said that it would likely be requested for it to be moved. Talk of that the day of his arrest, or early the next morning.

Athena Strand honored by North Texas communities
FOX 4 did request a copy of the arrest affidavit, which would include additional details of the crime but found out it has been sealed. Tanner Horner remains in jail on a $1.5 million bond. The community, meanwhile, is coming together to remember Athena Strand.

I did search Tarrant and found nothing.
Yes. Read The Gift of Fear! It's your subconscious picking up on important warnings!
Yes, theoretically that could add several months if it included some kind of treatment (IMO, recalling Lori Vallow but she was in a different state).
Just FYI from a local, Paradise is a tiny city (pop. less that 500) in Wise County, which is fairly rural and just north of Tarrant County, which includes Fort Worth.

Shoot. You probably know more than I do about a Texas criminal procedure. But let me do a little research.Hi @gitana1, thanks for coming on!
The question is: Under Texas law does Athena's killer Tanner Horner have to be indicted by the Grand Jury before he can be arraigned? Msm said he'd make a court appearance today but he's not even on the court docket. We thought it would be an arraignment where he'd make his plea.
I just saw another recent msm report that called it a "detention hearing" in the Google description (but not in the actual article).
Can you explain the process to us? I posted some Texas law info above but dang, we need a real lawyer to 'splain it to us, lol.
Thank you so much!

Ok. It looks like indeed, he has to be indicted by a grand jury. So they’re probably waiting for that to occur.Hi @gitana1, thanks for coming on!

He would be arraigned after a criminal complaint is filed. (I didn’t see that part of your question the first go around.
I thought you wanted to know if a grand jury had to indict him or if the state could do it without a grand jury). You can’t be arraigned until a case is opened in a court. And an arrest isn’t that.
An indictment is the criminal complaint.

LE is still investigating but at some point we should see the affidavit unsealed. Possibly with witness names redacted. It may provide a clear motive and it may not. I suspect it will. But there will never be an acceptable reason for "why." That doesn't exist. MOO

Athena’s mother, Maitlyn Presley Gandy, told the crowd she was trying to remain strong for her daughter.
“She was the best little girl. She really was,” she said. “I want people to keep her face and her story alive.”
Pictures of Athena lined the stage. The little girl running, hair flying behind her. Smiling on the first day of school. Dressed in Christmas pajamas.
Athena’s first grade teacher, Lindsey Thompson, recalled Athena bringing her a present — usually a small trinket or drawing — every day. Athena loved to dance and draw and create.
“There will never be a day we don’t think about her,” Thompson said. “My heart aches because I have lost one of my babies.”

"Y'all are amazing people, and I don't know how to thank you all for all you've done for my family, especially my baby," Gandy said.
"I just want y'all to know that she was amazing and that she would truly love every single one of you because she has loved every human she has ever met."
[...]
An angel, built to represent the little girl, was also placed on the stage.
"I just want to keep her face and story alive," Gandy said. "I want everyone to know Athena for Athena, not what someone tried to make her out to be. Because she was the best little girl."
The pastor at First Baptist Church Cottondale also gave a religious message, and a member of the sheriff's office also addressed the crowd.

Gandy finished her address with a simple request: remember her daughter.
"I don't care if it's five years from now, ten years from now, or 20 years from now, remember Athena Strand," Gandy said.
