A bail agent whose Houston business was searched by federal and local law enforcement can return to bonding out defendants under one of her insurers as that company waits on results of a criminal investigation.
Multi-agency law enforcement operation with fellow members of the Texas Anti-Gang Task Force takes place at Aable Bail Bonds at Austin Street, Wednesday, June 1, 2022, in Houston.was unable to write bonds under United States Fire Insurance Company
Insurance officials notified the Harris County Sheriff’s Office on June 29 of the reinstated bail license, noting that their internal review found nothing amiss and that Muharib has not been charged with a crime. The search warrant — executed June 1 — dominated a portion of the Harris County Bail Bond Board meeting Wednesday. The cover sheet for the warrant, which the Chronicle obtained through a records request, revealed few details except that U.S. Magistrate Judge Sam S. Sheldon authorized it the day prior for the Southern District of Texas.Ken Good, a lawyer for the firm, said their own audit into Muharib’s second license continues but that so far, all the records appear to be in compliance.
Muharib's license under Financial Casualty & Surety faced scrutiny in April during a renewal application over allegations of"deceptive trade practices" that a fellow bail bondsman aired against her and relatives. During an April meeting, the agent said she uses payment plans and that she had posted bail in the past — for people she knows — without a premium.
