KATY, Texas — A former Katy ISD football coach pleaded guilty to having an improper relationship with a student.
Lonnie Teagle, who coached at Paetow High School, had only been employed with the school for six months before resigning in October 2022.
About a month later, Teagle was arrested and charged with improper relationship with a student and indecency with a child.
Though Teagle was only charged with one count of improper relationship with a student, at least five female students have accused him of inappropriate touching and comments. Teagle admitted to having sexual contact with a 15-year-old girl. The indecency with a child charge was dismissed.
Teagle waived the right of trial by jury, leaving a judge to sentence him to 120 days in the Harris County Jail and eight years of community supervision. Teagle was also ordered to forfeit his teaching license and to have no contact with children under the age of 17.
