Spears was previously indicted but not arrested until she self-surrendered to the Chambers County Jail on Tuesday, according to Click2Houston.
Spears resigned in June 2023, according to a statement from the Barbers Hill Independent School District that same month.
Spears wasn’t aware of the charges until “two days ago,” her attorney Christopher Tritico said in a statement.
Spears could face up to 20 years in prison if convicted.
Molly Spears turned herself into the Chambers County jail this week.
