Two Conroe residents have been charged for their roles in the kidnapping and forced labor of a minor child, announced U.S. Attorney Nicholas J. Ganjei.
Tania Evette Garcia, 37, is set to appear before U.S. Magistrate Judge Dena Hanovice Palermo on Monday, Feb. 9. Brenda Mariana Garcia, 39, previously made her appearance and remains in custody pending further criminal proceedings.
A federal grand jury returned a two-count indictment Jan. 14. The charges allege that between March and September 2025, both women kidnapped and abused the minor victim.
According to the indictment, the sisters physically abused and restrained the victim with zip ties. They repeatedly beat and forced the child to provide labor and services through force, threats of force, physical restraint and physical abuse, the indictment alleges.
If convicted, each faces up to life in federal prison as well as a possible $250,000 maximum fine.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement – Homeland Security Investigations and the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office conducted the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Luis Batarse is prosecuting the case.

Our elected officials of the injustice system have failed again, this time an innocent child was the victim. These two are most likely “undocumented”, how many times do we let the revolving door of the (in)justice system spin?
