Texas Substitute Teacher Charged With Felony Over Alleged Improper Student Relationship

Investigators are seeking tips from anyone with information about her online contacts.

Overview

  • Angela Palmares, 27, was arrested Wednesday in Bell County and charged with improper relationship between an educator and a student, a second-degree felony.
  • Llano Independent School District alerted law enforcement Tuesday after an allegation that she communicated inappropriately with students on social media outside school hours.
  • The sheriff’s Criminal Investigation Division reviewed evidence, conducted interviews, obtained a warrant, and—working with the Texas DPS Fusion Center—located and arrested her without incident.
  • Jail records listed a $150,000 bond, and the district said she had not worked since April 2 and was removed from the substitute roster as officials notified affected families.
  • Authorities have not disclosed the number or ages of students or the content of the messages, and the investigation remains active with a public call for potential victims or witnesses to contact the sheriff’s office.
