Jail records show Texas coach Chris Beard was booked on a charge of assault on a family or household member in which their breath was impeded.
AUSTIN, Texas — Texas men's basketball coach Chris Beard was arrested early Monday on a felony family violence charge, according to Travis County Jail records.
The charge is a third-degree felony in Texas, with a possible punishment of two to 10 years in prison. The jail records showed Beard had not yet posted bond as of Monday morning and did not indicate when he would be making an initial court appearance. No attorney for him was listed. Beard is in his second season of a seven-year guaranteed contract that pays him more than $5 million per year. Before coming to Texas, he led Texas Tech to the 2019 NCAA Tournament championship game.
Morris was a top national recruit out of Dallas and has been allowed to play this season despite the charge, and averages 17 minutes and 6.5 points per game. Morris' attorney Justin Moore has said Moore is innocent of the assault charge.
