A Travis County grand jury indicted Brittney Bailey, 33, on two counts arising from injuries to a child, and the case proceeded to trial in Travis County District Court in Austin, Texas [1]. The charges, brought under Texas law, alleged that Bailey caused both serious bodily injury and bodily injury to a child [1].
The jury returned guilty verdicts on both counts on May 8, 2026 [1]. Jurors convicted Bailey of one count of Injury to a Child Causing Serious Bodily Injury, a first-degree felony under Texas Penal Code, and one count of Injury to a Child Causing Bodily Injury [1]. The Travis County District Attorney's office prosecuted the case [1].
Because Texas permits jury sentencing in non-capital felony cases when a defendant elects that option, the same jury that returned the guilt verdict determined Bailey's punishment. On May 11, 2026, the jury sentenced Bailey to 40 years' confinement on the serious bodily injury count and 10 years on the bodily injury count [1]. The record does not indicate whether the sentences run concurrently or consecutively, and no fine was reported.
The source material does not reflect any immediate post-trial motions or notice of appeal filed by defense counsel as of the date of publication [1].
