As police were looking to locate the home, officers found that Terrell and Duncan had fled to Louisiana with Duncan's other five young children, which set off a statewide Amber Alert.
Terrell and Duncan were arrested after police stopped their silver Mitsubishi Outlander on Oct. 18 at about 4:30 p.m. in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where they were from, according to ABC affiliate WBRZ.
When arrested, the suspects only had one child present with them, while the other four were dropped off with a relative, according to investigators.
Terrell and Duncan were held without bond in Louisiana and awaited transport back to Harris County.
Terrell was extradited to Texas on Friday, Nov. 4.
If the bond is made, Terrell is ordered not to have contact with anyone 17 years old or under and no contact with Duncan, whose bond was set at $4.5 million, documents read.
