Convicted Child Molestor Arcade Joseph Comeaux Jr . On The Lam in Texas
Nov . 30 , 2009
A convicted child molester who was supposedly <m> confined </m> to a wheelchair overpowered two prison guards today , handcuffed them , stole their weapons and walked off wearing one of their uniforms .
Arcade Joseph Comeaux Jr . , 49 , is serving a life sentence for several charges – including indecency with a child – and was en route from the Estelle Unit in Huntsville , Texas , to the Stiles Unit in Beaumont , Texas , when he escaped just after 9 a . m .
Lyons said that Comeaux used a wheelchair in prison – he "claimed it was necessary for his mobility" – and added , "Since he fled on foot , that's obviously in question . "
Described as a 6 - feet tall and weighing approximately 200 pounds , Lyons warned that Comeaux knows the area where he escaped well and could have family nearby .
He initially was imprisoned on February 1979 on three 10 - year sentences for rape of a child , aggravated rape of a child , and burglary of a building with the intent to commit theft .
His supervision was revoked and he returned to prison in May 1984 with a new charge of indecency with a child , given a new 20 year sentence .
Between 1991 and 1998 , Comeaux was in and out of prison on parole violations until he finally returned to prison in June 1999 to serve a life sentence for aggravated sexual assault .
In 1999 , Comeaux stabbed his wife during a visit , using his wheelchair to pin her against a wall while he stabbed her .
His wife survived , but another inmate who tried to break up the attack also suffered stab wounds , and Comeaux was convicted of additional assault charges and received two additional life sentences . |

3_9ecb.xml_12 | train | ent | 3_9ecb.xml | 0 | A judge on Saturday sentenced the man who killed four people in a brazen courthouse escape to multiple life sentences with no chance of parole after a deadlocked jury failed to return a death sentence . | 1 | 1 | 2 | 7 | judge | HUM17394069217658264 | judge | ['judge', 'saturday', 'sentence', 'man', 'kill', 'people', 'brazen', 'courthouse', 'escape', 'multiple', 'life', 'sentence', 'chance', 'parole', 'deadlocked', 'jury', 'fail', 'return', 'death', 'sentence'] | A <m> judge </m> on Saturday sentenced the man who killed four people in a brazen courthouse escape to multiple life sentences with no chance of parole after a deadlocked jury failed to return a death sentence . | A <m> judge </m> on Saturday sentenced the man who killed four people in a brazen courthouse escape to multiple life sentences with no chance of parole after a deadlocked jury failed to return a death sentence .
Brian Nichols , 37 , was found guilty last month of murder and dozens of other counts for the March 2005 rampage that started in a downtown courthouse , led to an Atlanta neighborhood and ended with his capture the next day in a suburban county .
He will likely die in prison after Superior Court Judge James Bodiford handed down the maximum sentence on each charge .
`` If there was any more I could give you , I would , '' the judge said .
Nichols was spared capital punishment when the jury failed to reach a unanimous decision to condemn him to death row for the murders of a judge , a court reporter , a deputy and a federal agent .
After four days and more than 30 hours of deliberations , the jury was deadlocked at 9-3 , with nine in favor of the death penalty and three voting for life without parole .
Nichols , who argued he was mentally insane when he carried out the killings , spoke for the first time in court on Saturday .
`` I just wanted to say that I know that the things I 've done caused a lot of pain and I 'm sorry , '' he said .
`` And I just wanted to say that I will not bring dishonor to the decision to spare my life .
That 's it . ''
The sentence caps more than three years of efforts to bring Nichols to justice since his arrest that were repeatedly bogged down by legal complications , frustrating victims ' relatives and angering state legislators over the costs .
The rampage prompted attorneys and judges to question their safety and law enforcement around the state to re-examine courthouse security measures .
The deadlocked jury was a setback for prosecutors , who turned down an offer from Nichols ' attorneys to plead guilty in exchange for a life sentence .
But District Attorney Paul Howard said he has spoken with U.S. attorneys about a possible death penalty trial against Nichols in federal court for the killing of the off-duty federal agent .
Howard also said Georgia prosecutors need more leeway to strike jurors who are reluctant to vote for the death penalty .
He said jurors have told him that the three holdouts refused to deliberate and one even wore headphones during the closed-door discussions this week .
`` The community has spoken , '' he said .
`` Even though we are puzzled and terribly disappointed by the decision , we must accept the conclusion provided by our community . ''
In a tearful post-trial press conference , the families of the victims thanked the prosecutors for going through with the trial , as painful as it was .
`` I believe Brian Nichols did not win .
In his own words , he said it 's not his DNA to stay in jail , '' said Christina Greenway , daughter of slain court reporter Julie Ann Brandau .
`` Which is what he has to look forward to the rest of his life. I 'm not disappointed and I have no regrets . ''
Nichols was being escorted to his trial for rape when he beat a deputy guarding him and stole her gun .
He burst into the courtroom and shot and killed Superior Court Judge Rowland Barnes , Brandau and Deputy Hoyt Teasley .
He fled downtown Atlanta and managed to evade hundreds of police officers searching for him overnight .
In Atlanta 's posh Buckhead neighborhood , he shot and killed federal agent David Wilhelm at a house the agent was renovating .
The judge , after sentencing Nichols to the slew of charges , urged the victims ' of Nichols ' crimes to try their best to regroup .
`` We 've learned a lot from this horrible tragedy , and as horrible as it was , we need to learn from this and make sure it never happens again , '' said Bodiford .
The judge offered advice for the prison guards who will handle Nichols:
`` Do not trust Mr. Nichols ever again .
Ever again .
Because he can not be trusted . '' |

Brian Nichols , 37 , was found guilty last month of murder and dozens of other counts for the March 2005 rampage that started in a downtown courthouse , led to an Atlanta neighborhood and ended with his capture the next day in a suburban county .
He will likely die in prison after Superior Court Judge James Bodiford handed down the maximum sentence on each charge .
`` If there was any more I could give you , I would , '' the judge said .
Nichols was spared capital punishment when the jury failed to reach a unanimous decision to condemn him to death row for the murders of a judge , a court reporter , a deputy and a federal agent .
After four days and more than 30 hours of deliberations , the jury was deadlocked at 9-3 , with nine in favor of the death penalty and three voting for life without parole .
Nichols , who argued he was mentally insane when he carried out the killings , spoke for the first time in court on Saturday .
`` I just wanted to say that I know that the things I 've done caused a lot of pain and I 'm sorry , '' he said .
`` And I just wanted to say that I will not bring dishonor to the decision to spare my life .
That 's it . ''
The sentence caps more than three years of efforts to bring Nichols to justice since his arrest that were repeatedly bogged down by legal complications , frustrating victims ' relatives and angering state legislators over the costs .
The rampage prompted attorneys and judges to question their safety and law enforcement around the state to re-examine courthouse security measures .
The deadlocked jury was a setback for prosecutors , who turned down an offer from Nichols ' attorneys to plead guilty in exchange for a life sentence .
But District Attorney Paul Howard said he has spoken with U.S. attorneys about a possible death penalty trial against Nichols in federal court for the killing of the off-duty federal agent .
Howard also said Georgia prosecutors need more leeway to strike jurors who are reluctant to vote for the death penalty .
He said jurors have told him that the three holdouts refused to deliberate and one even wore headphones during the closed-door discussions this week .
`` The community has spoken , '' he said .
`` Even though we are puzzled and terribly disappointed by the decision , we must accept the conclusion provided by our community . ''
In a tearful post-trial press conference , the families of the victims thanked the prosecutors for going through with the trial , as painful as it was .
`` I believe Brian Nichols did not win .
In his own words , he said it 's not his DNA to stay in jail , '' said Christina Greenway , daughter of slain court reporter Julie Ann Brandau .
`` Which is what he has to look forward to the rest of his life. I 'm not disappointed and I have no regrets . ''
Nichols was being escorted to his trial for rape when he beat a deputy guarding him and stole her gun .
He burst into the courtroom and shot and killed Superior Court Judge Rowland Barnes , Brandau and Deputy Hoyt Teasley .
He fled downtown Atlanta and managed to evade hundreds of police officers searching for him overnight .
In Atlanta 's posh Buckhead neighborhood , he shot and killed federal agent David Wilhelm at a house the agent was renovating .
The judge , after sentencing Nichols to the slew of charges , urged the victims ' of Nichols ' crimes to try their best to regroup .
`` We 've learned a lot from this horrible tragedy , and as horrible as it was , we need to learn from this and make sure it never happens again , '' said Bodiford .
The judge offered advice for the prison guards who will handle Nichols:
`` Do not trust Mr. Nichols ever again .
Ever again .

Yet prosecutors who spent the last month urging jurors to sentence one of Atlanta 's most notorious criminals to death were not celebrating .
`` The community has spoken , '' Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard said at an emotional press conference after the sentencing of Brian Nichols .
`` Even though we are puzzled and terribly disappointed by the decision , we must accept the conclusion provided by our community . ''
It showed how difficult it is to get a capital sentence in Atlanta 's Fulton County , where death penalties are rare even in a state where support for capital punishment is widespread .
Georgia tied for third in carrying out executions last year .
And it underscored the problems Georgia prosecutors say they frequently face with the requirement that death sentences can only be returned by unanimous jury verdicts .
Nichols , 37 , was found guilty last month of murdering a judge , a court reporter , a sheriff 's deputy and a federal agent in the March 2005 rampage .
After four days deliberating on whether to recommend the death penalty , the jury deadlocked at 9-3 .
Nichols will likely die in prison after Superior Court Judge James Bodiford handed down the maximum prison sentence on each of 54 charges .
The deadlock devastated prosecutors , who had turned down an offer from Nichols ' attorneys to plead guilty in exchange for a life sentence .
The trial has already cost more than $ 2 million , likely the most expensive in state history .
And it may not be over yet:
Howard said he 's talked to the U.S. Attorney about a federal death penalty trial for the federal agent 's slaying .
In the meantime , Howard and some state legislative leaders said Georgia 's death penalty rules should be changed .
`` Georgia is a conservative state , but there are pockets where it is not , '' said state Rep. Barry Fleming , a Republican who led a failed bid last year to allow judges to approve death penalties even if one or two jurors voted against it .
`` There are people who will attempt to nullify the law when they get on the jury . ''
The last time a Fulton County jury issued a death sentence was eight years ago , and only then for a triple murderer who killed a toddler .
One factor could be race .
The county is 43 percent black , and numerous polls and surveys have found that blacks are more likely than whites to oppose capital punishment .
Eight of the jurors were black .
The three who voted against the death penalty would not comment , but Howard said other jurors told him the three holdouts refused to deliberate .
He said he was told that one was wearing headphones during the closed-door discussions this week .
Two jurors who spoke at Howard 's news conference but declined to be identified said they worked hard to try to reach a verdict .
`` I believe Brian Nichols did not win .
In his own words , he said it 's not his DNA to stay in jail , which is what he has to look forward to the rest of his life , '' said Christina Greenway , daughter of slain court reporter Julie Ann Brandau .
`` I 'm not disappointed and I have no regrets . ''
Nichols was being escorted to his trial for rape when he overpowered a deputy guarding him and stole her gun .
He burst into the courtroom and shot and killed Superior Court Judge Rowland Barnes , Brandau and sheriff 's Deputy Hoyt Teasley .
He fled downtown Atlanta and managed to evade hundreds of police officers searching for him overnight .
In Atlanta 's posh Buckhead neighborhood , he shot and killed federal agent David Wilhelm at a house the agent was renovating .
Death penalty experts said the Nichols verdict shows there 's no telling what will happen when a jury is asked to settle a capital case .
`` It 's very hard for 12 people to sit down around the table to make a decision to put another human being to death , '' said Stephen Bright , a Yale Law School lecturer and a veteran capital defense attorney .
Nichols , who argued he was insane when he carried out the killings , spoke for the first time in court on Saturday as relatives of the victims ' families quietly wept .
`` I just wanted to say that I know that the things I 've done caused a lot of pain and I 'm sorry , '' he said .
`` And I just wanted to say that I will not bring dishonor to the decision to spare my life .
That 's it . ''
The judge had advice for anyone who deals with Nichols in the future:
`` Do not trust Mr. Nichols ever again .

Yet prosecutors who spent the last month urging jurors to sentence one of Atlanta 's most notorious criminals to death were not celebrating .
`` The community has spoken , '' Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard said at an emotional press conference after the sentencing of Brian Nichols .
`` Even though we are puzzled and terribly disappointed by the decision , we must accept the conclusion provided by our community . ''
It showed how difficult it is to get a capital sentence in Atlanta 's Fulton County , where death penalties are rare even in a state where support for capital punishment is widespread .
Georgia tied for third in carrying out executions last year .
And it underscored the problems Georgia prosecutors say they frequently face with the requirement that death sentences can only be returned by unanimous jury verdicts .
Nichols , 37 , was found guilty last month of murdering a judge , a court reporter , a sheriff 's deputy and a federal agent in the March 2005 rampage .
After four days deliberating on whether to recommend the death penalty , the jury deadlocked at 9-3 .
Nichols will likely die in prison after Superior Court Judge James Bodiford handed down the maximum prison sentence on each of 54 charges .
The deadlock devastated prosecutors , who had turned down an offer from Nichols ' attorneys to plead guilty in exchange for a life sentence .
The trial has already cost more than $ 2 million , likely the most expensive in state history .
And it may not be over yet:
Howard said he 's talked to the U.S. Attorney about a federal death penalty trial for the federal agent 's slaying .
In the meantime , Howard and some state legislative leaders said Georgia 's death penalty rules should be changed .
`` Georgia is a conservative state , but there are pockets where it is not , '' said state Rep. Barry Fleming , a Republican who led a failed bid last year to allow judges to approve death penalties even if one or two jurors voted against it .
`` There are people who will attempt to nullify the law when they get on the jury . ''
The last time a Fulton County jury issued a death sentence was eight years ago , and only then for a triple murderer who killed a toddler .
One factor could be race .
The county is 43 percent black , and numerous polls and surveys have found that blacks are more likely than whites to oppose capital punishment .
Eight of the jurors were black .
The three who voted against the death penalty would not comment , but Howard said other jurors told him the three holdouts refused to deliberate .
He said he was told that one was wearing headphones during the closed-door discussions this week .
Two jurors who spoke at Howard 's news conference but declined to be identified said they worked hard to try to reach a verdict .
`` I believe Brian Nichols did not win .
In his own words , he said it 's not his DNA to stay in jail , which is what he has to look forward to the rest of his life , '' said Christina Greenway , daughter of slain court reporter Julie Ann Brandau .
`` I 'm not disappointed and I have no regrets . ''
Nichols was being escorted to his trial for rape when he overpowered a deputy guarding him and stole her gun .
He burst into the courtroom and shot and killed Superior Court Judge Rowland Barnes , Brandau and sheriff 's Deputy Hoyt Teasley .
He fled downtown Atlanta and managed to evade hundreds of police officers searching for him overnight .
In Atlanta 's posh Buckhead neighborhood , he shot and killed federal agent David Wilhelm at a house the agent was renovating .
Death penalty experts said the Nichols verdict shows there 's no telling what will happen when a jury is asked to settle a capital case .
`` It 's very hard for 12 people to sit down around the table to make a decision to put another human being to death , '' said Stephen Bright , a Yale Law School lecturer and a veteran capital defense attorney .
Nichols , who argued he was insane when he carried out the killings , spoke for the first time in court on Saturday as relatives of the victims ' families quietly wept .
`` I just wanted to say that I know that the things I 've done caused a lot of pain and I 'm sorry , '' he said .
`` And I just wanted to say that I will not bring dishonor to the decision to spare my life .
That 's it . ''
The judge had advice for anyone who deals with Nichols in the future:
`` Do not trust Mr. Nichols ever again .
Ever again .
Because he can not be trusted . '' |

`` Georgia is a conservative state , but there are pockets where it is not , '' said state Rep. Barry Fleming , a Republican who led a failed bid last year to allow judges to approve death penalties even if one or two jurors voted against it .
`` There are people who will attempt to nullify the law when they get on the jury . ''
The last time a Fulton County jury issued a death sentence was eight years ago , and only then for a triple murderer who killed a toddler .
One factor could be race .
The county is 43 percent black , and numerous polls and surveys have found that blacks are more likely than whites to oppose capital punishment .
Eight of the jurors were black .
The three who voted against the death penalty would not comment , but Howard said other jurors told him the three holdouts refused to deliberate .
He said he was told that one was wearing headphones during the closed-door discussions this week .
Two jurors who spoke at Howard 's news conference but declined to be identified said they worked hard to try to reach a verdict .
`` I believe Brian Nichols did not win .
In his own words , he said it 's not his DNA to stay in jail , which is what he has to look forward to the rest of his life , '' said Christina Greenway , daughter of slain court reporter Julie Ann Brandau .
`` I 'm not disappointed and I have no regrets . ''
Nichols was being escorted to his trial for rape when he overpowered a deputy guarding him and stole her gun .
He burst into the courtroom and shot and killed Superior Court Judge Rowland Barnes , Brandau and sheriff 's Deputy Hoyt Teasley .
He fled downtown Atlanta and managed to evade hundreds of police officers searching for him overnight .
In Atlanta 's posh Buckhead neighborhood , he shot and killed federal agent David Wilhelm at a house the agent was renovating .
Death penalty experts said the Nichols verdict shows there 's no telling what will happen when a jury is asked to settle a capital case .
`` It 's very hard for 12 people to sit down around the table to make a decision to put another human being to death , '' said Stephen Bright , a Yale Law School lecturer and a veteran capital defense attorney .
Nichols , who argued he was insane when he carried out the killings , spoke for the first time in court on Saturday as relatives of the victims ' families quietly wept .
`` I just wanted to say that I know that the things I 've done caused a lot of pain and I 'm sorry , '' he said .
`` And I just wanted to say that I will not bring dishonor to the decision to spare my life .
That 's it . ''
The judge had advice for anyone who deals with Nichols in the future:
`` Do not trust Mr. Nichols ever again .
Ever again .
Because he can not be trusted . '' |

Yet prosecutors who spent the last month urging jurors to sentence one of Atlanta 's most notorious criminals to death were not celebrating .
`` The community has spoken , '' Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard said at an emotional press conference after the sentencing of Brian Nichols .
`` Even though we are puzzled and terribly disappointed by the decision , we must accept the conclusion provided by our community . ''
It showed how difficult it is to get a capital sentence in Atlanta 's Fulton County , where death penalties are rare even in a state where support for capital punishment is widespread .
Georgia tied for third in carrying out executions last year .
And it underscored the problems Georgia prosecutors say they frequently face with the requirement that death sentences can only be returned by unanimous jury verdicts .
Nichols , 37 , was found guilty last month of murdering a judge , a court reporter , a sheriff 's deputy and a federal agent in the March 2005 rampage .
After four days deliberating on whether to recommend the death penalty , the jury deadlocked at 9-3 .
Nichols will likely die in prison after Superior Court Judge James Bodiford handed down the maximum prison sentence on each of 54 charges .
The deadlock devastated prosecutors , who had turned down an offer from Nichols ' attorneys to plead guilty in exchange for a life sentence .
The trial has already cost more than $ 2 million , likely the most expensive in state history .

Superior Court Judge James Bodiford on Saturday suggested that Nichols should serve his time in the federal maximum security prison - known as Supermax - in Florence , Colo. , which has the reputation as the nation 's toughest and most secure prison .
Bodiford said he was surprised to learn during the trial that Nichols , who is committed of state crimes , could still serve his time in a federal prison .
`` I thought maybe Supermax might be a good place for Mr. Nichols for what it is worth , '' Bodiford said .
`` I do n't believe I can order it and I am not going to order it but that is my two cents worth . ''
About the prison:
The supermax unit at the Florence Federal Correctional Complex at Florence , Colo. , primarily holds extremely dangerous or escape-risk federal inmates .
There also are a few state prisoners there who need more security than those prisons can provide .
The remote prison , which opened in 1994 , almost disappears into the same-color desert around it .
Cells are 8-by-12 feet , with concrete walls , ceilings and furnishings , including the bed .
The toilets , sinks and showers are stainless steel .
Cell windows are long and narrow , limiting the view to only the sky .
Some known inmates:
Unabomber Ted Kaczynski , shoe bomber Richard Reid , and Sept. 11 , 2001 conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui .
Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin , the 1960s militant once named H. Rap Brown , convicted in Georgia of the state crime of murdering a Fulton County deputy .
Convicted of federal crimes in Georgia : Eric Robert Rudolph , who pleaded guilty to the Centennial Olympic Park bombings and other bombings in Atlanta , and Malachi Z. York , the Nuwaubian leader convicted of child molestation , racketeering and federal financial reporting charges .
Prison program:
A three-step program limits - or perhaps deprives - inmates of many things that would stimulate the senses - smell , sight and touch .
Olympic Park bomber Rudolph complained in letters to a Colorado newspaper in 2006 that the prison 's design was driving him insane .
In the first stage of the program , inmates spend 23 of every 24 hours double-locked behind a steel door and a barred grate .
They are allowed one 15-minute telephone call a month .
One hour each day is spent alone in a recreation area .
Their behavior is reviewed every 90 days before they can be moved up to the next step .
At the second and third steps , inmates are given progressively more freedom , more time for exercise , longer and more frequent telephone calls and more social contact with other prisoners - as long as they are free of violations .
Limited inmate privileges:
Inmates get a radio and a black-and-white , 13-inch television made specially with clear backs that reveal all internal components .
The TVs are hooked up to `` basic cable . ''
Inmates participate in religious services that are broadcast on their televisions .
Guards pass inmates ' meals , law books and other items through a slot in the door .
There is limited direct human contact . |

Superior Court Judge James Bodiford on Saturday suggested that Nichols should serve his time in the federal maximum security prison - known as Supermax - in Florence , Colo. , which has the reputation as the nation 's toughest and most secure prison .
Bodiford said he was surprised to learn during the trial that Nichols , who is committed of state crimes , could still serve his time in a federal prison .
`` I thought maybe Supermax might be a good place for Mr. Nichols for what it is worth , '' Bodiford said .
`` I do n't believe I can order it and I am not going to order it but that is my two cents worth . ''
About the prison:
The supermax unit at the Florence Federal Correctional Complex at Florence , Colo. , primarily holds extremely dangerous or escape-risk federal inmates .
There also are a few state prisoners there who need more security than those prisons can provide .
The remote prison , which opened in 1994 , almost disappears into the same-color desert around it .
Cells are 8-by-12 feet , with concrete walls , ceilings and furnishings , including the bed .
The toilets , sinks and showers are stainless steel .
Cell windows are long and narrow , limiting the view to only the sky .
Some known inmates:
Unabomber Ted Kaczynski , shoe bomber Richard Reid , and Sept. 11 , 2001 conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui .
Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin , the 1960s militant once named H. Rap Brown , convicted in Georgia of the state crime of murdering a Fulton County deputy .
Convicted of federal crimes in Georgia : Eric Robert Rudolph , who pleaded guilty to the Centennial Olympic Park bombings and other bombings in Atlanta , and Malachi Z. York , the Nuwaubian leader convicted of child molestation , racketeering and federal financial reporting charges .
Prison program:
A three-step program limits - or perhaps deprives - inmates of many things that would stimulate the senses - smell , sight and touch .
Olympic Park bomber Rudolph complained in letters to a Colorado newspaper in 2006 that the prison 's design was driving him insane .
In the first stage of the program , inmates spend 23 of every 24 hours double-locked behind a steel door and a barred grate .
They are allowed one 15-minute telephone call a month .
One hour each day is spent alone in a recreation area .
Their behavior is reviewed every 90 days before they can be moved up to the next step .
At the second and third steps , inmates are given progressively more freedom , more time for exercise , longer and more frequent telephone calls and more social contact with other prisoners - as long as they are free of violations .
Limited inmate privileges:
Inmates get a radio and a black-and-white , 13-inch television made specially with clear backs that reveal all internal components .
The TVs are hooked up to `` basic cable . ''
Inmates participate in religious services that are broadcast on their televisions .
Guards pass inmates ' meals , law books and other items through a slot in the door .

A convicted sex offender who was the subject of a weeklong manhunt after pulling off a daring escape during a prison transfer was captured Monday after <m> authorities </m> received several phone tips , including one from a salesman who recognized the inmate outside his business .
A hungry , wet and barefoot Arcade Joseph Comeaux Jr . was caught in northeast Houston , about 25 miles northwest of where he escaped , said Alfredo Perez , a spokesman for the U . S . Marshals Service .
Comeaux , 49 , was in a wheelchair Nov . 30 when he pulled a gun on two guards and fired it during a transfer from a prison unit in Huntsville to one in Beaumont .

Comeaux was serving a sentence of life in prison for a 1998 aggravated sexual assault conviction in Brazos County , northwest of Houston .
