A South Garland High School teacher and student were caught in a compromising position in a car that put the teacher behind bars Wednesday.
Lindsey Holt, 23, faces two to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000 after police said they found her and the student in a car parked in a Garland park.
The teacher was released from the Garland Detention Center on a $5,000 bond.
Police charged Holt with having an improper relationship with a student, which according to state law involves sexual contact.
However, police have not charged her with sexual assault because the student was 17 and is officially an adult, but they said what happened at the Garland park was criminal.
The police have not released details, but said police officers doing routine patrols in the park came across the two in the car.
"They came across the vehicle, which for some reason raised their suspicion, walked up to it and that was when they saw the teacher and student in a compromising position," said Joe Harn, Garland Police Department.
The park is down the road from the South Garland High School where Holt is a first-year home education teacher.
"You're supposed to be teaching the kids and instead you are teaching them the birds and the bees and everything," said Chris Harnd, a former South Garland High School student. "That is not how it is supposed to go. Your supposed to be teaching home-ed and that is it."
Many students at the school described Holt as a popular teacher at the school.
"She was just a cool teacher," said Nathias Slaughter, Garland student. "I never thought anything. I never would have thought she would have an affair with a student from the school or anything like that."
Holt will not return to the classroom she has been placed on paid leave until the outcome of the investigation.
Police are still looking into what kind of relationship the student and teacher had, and more charges are possible against the teacher.
I understand your viewpoint, it is the same as a great many others about the adult and minor situation regardless of gender. I was just stating in my normal tactful way, my thoughts on why there is a difference of opinion, and I generally throw in some attempts at humor to lighten the mood...
Works real good huh?... ;^) Have a good night, gotta hit the rack. Believe it or not, i gotta work in the AM tomorrow!!
Nah, it's being buried because the student is legally an adult in Texas. That takes the wind out of most of it.
Texas. You have the freedom to consent to sex at 17. Leave at home despite your parents wishes at 17. Drop out of school at 17. etc etc etc.

Oh no. No way in hell GISD will keep her on. Her job is history.
So, when are you going to start cleansing?
This sounds like a case of lesborecruiticus interruptus.
See number 55. There is not a double standard here in the great state of Texas. A secondary school includes college campuses.
I can tell once a movie starts if it involves young folks and the guys look too metero....it's coming at some point...like a slap.

There was a case like this here in West Texas in the late 70s. A 24 year old first grade teacher was caught in the act with [more than one] boys from the same system's high school. Her parents were fairly prominent people and she lived with them, in fact. A brief investigation determined that she had made a practice of this for almost 2 years.
The superintendent gave her a choice of resigning with a favorable reference, or having the whole case revealed to her parents. She went to another school district, and is still teaching today
How do I know all this? I was the security guard at the motel where this happened and had to sort out the uproar when the parents of one of boys barged in. They caught the teacher in flagrante delecto with a boy who was not, in fact, their son, though the son was in the room. I really thought there was going to be serious violence. The boy's mom was furious, like a she-bear protecting her cubs. The teacher, a very short but remarkably well-shaped brunette, was defiant and angry at the interruption, despite being stark naked and an obvious sex criminal. I would just as soon try to separate rival Somali gangs, something else I tried to do some years later. The police were called but they treated it as a big joke and the legal system apparently deferred to the teacher's superintendent. I eventually got to know the irate parents pretty well through an unrelated business interest and stayed in contact with them for years.
