AUSTIN, Texas -- The legal process for Texas men's basketball coach Chris Beard in the wake of his arrest early Monday on a felony family violence charge after a woman told police he strangled and bit her might take more than a year to reach its conclusion, several experts with knowledge of Texas law told ESPN.
Beard was arrested by Austin police and booked into Travis County jail at 4:18 a.m. CT on Monday and subsequently suspended without pay by the school after a woman, who said she and Beard had been together for six years, told police he became "super violent" after she broke his glasses.
