HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — A former Houston ISD middle school teacher accused of having explicit video calls with a 14-year-old student was back in court on Monday.
Dale Vanwright, 63, was a design teacher at Tanglewood Middle School when the crimes allegedly occurred. He bonded out of jail over the weekend. His bond was set to be reviewed by a judge, but his case has been reset to a later date.
It’s unclear how the allegations came to light, but they are disturbing. The former teacher is facing three charges: improper relationship with a student, sexual performance by a child, and indecency with a child.
Court documents state the victim, a 14-year-old girl, was dating one of Vanwright’s relatives, who was also a student at Tanglewood Middle School.
