Bond had been set at $500,000 for Jessica Rene Tata, who is charged with reckless injury to a child involving serious bodily injury. Charges could be upgraded or additional charges could be added, the Harris County District Attorney's Office said.
A pot left on a stove is believed to have started the fire Thursday at Tata's in-home center, Jackie's Child Care, a fire investigator said in court documents. A law enforcement source told the Houston Chronicle that Tata had gone to the grocery store and left seven children, ranging in age from 16 months to 3 years, unattended.
Two children remain hospitalized in critical but stable condition.
The documents allege that two witnesses saw Tata drive up to the home in west Houston and that smoked poured out when she opened the front door. "Within seconds" witnesses said they heard her scream.
The Houston Fire Department has asked the U.S. Marshal's Service to locate Tata and seek her return.
