The Muharib family have been accused of taking less than 10% of the bond amount for defendants and putting them on payment plans.

"I am absolutely devastated that they did not take into account the points that we brought up, and allowed him to get another license," said crime victim Michelle Chapa.

"They allowed this person to get an additional license to continue to operate in our community, when they've demonstrated over and over again they are unable to hold up their end of the bargain when it comes to the bail bond system," said Paul Castro,"Our powers are limited," said Harris County Bail Bond Board member Mario Garza. "If I was to vote against that license, and it were to get denied, there's obviously litigation that is going to cost the County money.

The Bail Bond Board voted not to renew Anthony Muharib's bail bonding license partly for not paying judgments within 30 days. "We are not going into prisons taking people out," said Anthony Muharib. "We are allowing people, who are only charged with an offense, to have a certain amount of freedom until if or when they're convicted."
