GALVESTON COUNTY, Texas (KTRK) -- Harris County Treasurer Carla Wyatt has been arrested again, this time in Galveston County for a DWI charge, according to records.

Jail records show Wyatt was arrested on Saturday and is being held without bond.

Eyewitness News reached out to the office of Harris County Judge Line Hidalgo for a statement.

According to court records, this is Wyatt's second DWI charge, with the first incident occurring in 2003. Records show that the charge was dismissed in that case, with Wyatt completing a pretrial diversion program authorized by the Texas Government Code.

In December 2025, the Houston Police Department arrested Wyatt for burglary after authorities said she opened the door of an unlocked minivan along Washington Avenue and got inside.



Investigators reported that Wyatt denied any wrongdoing and told them she had permission to be in the Toyota minivan. The owner told investigators she did not know Wyatt and did not give her permission.

A grand jury also declined to indict her, authorities said, and returned a no-bill, indicating there was insufficient evidence to proceed.
