Ethan Couch, the "Affluenza" teen

I don't think his family has the kind of money that buys a cushy lifestyle in a Mexican jail. I believe his mother's house was valued at $340,000 USD. That is not the house of a wildly rich person.

Here is way more than you want to know about this family, the accident and that kid.

They do what they do because........they CAN.

What a sad bunch..

The Reporter said he doesn't speak any Spanish. That adds more to the pile.

By the way what happens if the amparo takes several months and he goes back to the States after he is 19?  He cannot go into a juvenil detention center so is he off all together or still on probation?

He can start by learning this phrase,(ay papi,que rico!)

They are claiming that their wolf-dog is missing and the PV humane society is looking for it.

The dog could not have been brought legally into Mexico because wolf hybrids can't receive rabies shots. The shots don't work on wolves. Per CSU and Colorado law.

Very easy to bring a dog here, they never looked at mine or at their papers. If they had looked at the dog, they may have concluded he is a Shepherd. Easy done.

If you remember, NONE of this outfit was "brought legally into Mexico". They just came across as daytrippers and kept on going - until they got caught.

The dog may turn up at Centro de Acopio, but I wonder who got the truck.

I've seen next to nothing about his return to Texas. Apparently a few weeks in Mexico have mellowed him a bit.

He was returned last week, he dismissed his amparo and the case and the TRO for deportation were also dismissed. I passed it along to the Texas ABC station that interviewed me, not sure outside Texas if the story went far or if it is old news now.

Here is the latest story.
