A 28-year-old Dripping Springs High School chemistry teacher was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of initiating an intimate relationship with one of her students, according to court documents.
Rebecca Garrison of Austin is facing charges of indecency with a child and improper relationship between an educator and student. She is in the Hays County Jail.
Both charges are second-degree felonies, which are punishable by two to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.
The student's mother told officials she became suspicious of her son's relationship with Garrison and started checking his e-mails and cell phone records, an affidavit says. When she found references to "sexual activity and declarations of love" between them, she told Greg Jung, the principal, about the relationship, the document says.
Jung could not be reached for comment.
According to the affidavit, the boy, whose name and age have not been released, sneaked out of his house early in January to meet with Garrison.
Garrison resigned from her position in January. She does not have a criminal record.
"Naturally, we're disappointed that this measure has to be taken, but our first and foremost obligation and desire is to protect students," said Mary Ward, superintendent for the Dripping Springs school district. Ward said Garrison was a "gifted, well-liked and highly respected" teacher.
Two other teachers in Central Texas have been cited for similar incidents in the past month. On Feb. 3, a substitute teacher in Manor was charged with having oral sex with one student and soliciting sex from another. In January, a Leander teacher turned himself in to police for improperly touching a student and making inappropriate comments to others.
Ward said two reasons for the frequency of teachers being charged in such cases are a recent urgency in people reporting sexual abuse and the increasing access that teachers have to students via e-mail and cell phones.

It is not because of cells phone and the internet. It is because teachers have been given permission by the States and the elite to take possession and authority over the sexuality of other people's children and they are humanists - have no ethic or moral code beyond "if it feels good, do it."
Teachers are allowed to talk dirty to other people's chidren in the name of "diversity", "tolerance" or sex ed.
All the perverts came out of the closet with the homos.
