A former Austin-area gymnastics coach, Paul Miller, has been indicted in Kendall County on child indecency charges tied to an alleged August 2024 incident. The indictment accuses Miller of touching two inappropriate body parts of a person younger than 17. He was arrested in Orange County, Florida, and a new trial date in the criminal case is set for June 15, 2026.
The indictment, dated June 6, 2025, was filed in Kendall County, according to KXAN. Court records cited in that reporting say the case, which had been scheduled to start in April, was continued, and reporters note that Miller's attorney declined to comment. Prosecutors allege the conduct involved a minor, and the matter remains an active criminal case.
SafeSport and USA Gymnastics Listings
According to the U.S. Center for SafeSport, Miller was placed on its Centralized Disciplinary Database in February 2026. He is also listed on USA Gymnastics' roster of permanently ineligible and ineligible members, a designation that typically bars people from working with athletes in the sport. Those listings can be found through the U.S. Center for SafeSport and USA Gymnastics.
Local Ties and Reaction
Reporting notes that a LinkedIn page attributed to Miller lists him at Capital Gymnastics in Cedar Park from roughly 2010 to 2012, and at least one former colleague says they worked with him in 2011 and 2012. That former colleague, Abbie Hillis, told reporters she has since become a vocal advocate for athletes who speak out about coach misconduct, and her recollections were included in KXAN's coverage.
What Happens Next
The case is set to move forward in Kendall County court, where the current trial date is June 15, 2026. The indictment is an accusation, not a conviction, and Miller is presumed innocent unless and until he is proven guilty in a court of law. Local authorities and the district clerk were cited in reporting on the filing and schedule, and the Kendall County courthouse maintains the public docket and contact information related to the case.
Legal Implications
The charges described in the indictment involve alleged sexual conduct with a minor and are treated as serious criminal offenses under Texas law. Any penalties would depend on the specific statutes under which prosecutors have charged Miller and on whether there is an eventual conviction, with outcomes to be determined through the Kendall County court process.
Anyone with information related to this case can contact local law enforcement, and concerns about coach misconduct may be reported to the U.S. Center for SafeSport.
