In Liberty County, Jessica Quintana was arrested for injury to a child and assault after her three children, ages 15, 11, and 6, were found wet and out of a pond on September 29. Their father called 911. The children are now in the care of Child Protective Services, and Jessica Quintana was taken into custody after being released from the hospital, as reported by ABC13.

Jessica Quintana was arrested on October 7 and faces two counts of injury to a child causing bodily injury and one count of assault causing bodily injury after a near-drowning incident involving her three children. The children were placed in temporary custody with the Texas Department of Family Services and may be placed with a family member, according to FOX26 Houston.

Domingo Quintana faces unrelated animal cruelty charges after an emaciated cat was found on the property. He told the court his pets were "well taken care of," but the judge ordered him to give up all non-livestock animals and scheduled his next court appearance in 30 days, as mentioned by FOX26 Houston
