A West Texas educator has been indicted by a federal grand jury for enticement of a minor and faces ten years to life in federal prison if convicted.
The federal indictment on Wednesday follows the teacher’s arrest in June. Allegra Fey Mora, 28, was charged with an improper relationship between educator and student by the state, which has a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.
According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Texas, the Texas Rangers began an investigation in June 2026 “after receiving a report concerning possible inappropriate sexual conduct between Mora and a 17-year-old Muleshoe High School student.”
Mora had allegedly engaged in this conduct during the 2025-26 school year.
Mora began working as a teacher for Muleshoe ISD during the 2023-24 school year. The district contains four schools with a little over 1,000 students, and is located about 20 miles from the New Mexico border.
Muleshoe ISD Superintendent Scott Bicknell announced June 5 that the district had been notified of Mora’s arrest and that she was no longer employed by the district.
“Please be assured that the District takes its responsibility for student and child safety extremely seriously,” wrote Bicknell. “The administration encourages anyone with concerns of suspected improper conduct between a District employee and a student or minor to immediately contact school administration and law enforcement.”
The federal indictment comes as part of Project Safe Schools, an initiative to protect students, enforce accountability, and restore transparency in public schools across North Texas.
“The full force of my office will be brought to bear on teachers, administrators, and school districts who perpetuate a cycle of abuse in our schools,” stated U.S. Attorney Ryan Raybould. “No one who abuses a position of authority over a child in the Northern District of Texas will escape scrutiny.”
Prior to her employment at Muleshoe, Mora taught at Hereford ISD and has held a Texas teaching certificate for English Language Arts and Reading since 2021. Her certificate is currently under review by the Texas Education Agency.
Over the past few years, a growing number of Texas school employees have been accused of sex crimes involving students and other children, and thousands have been reported to the TEA for sexual misconduct.
The TEA’s Educator Misconduct Reporting Dashboard shows the agency is currently investigating more than 2,700 sexual misconduct complaints and opening an average of 250 new cases each month.
