A teacher and coach in Medina Independent School District is accused of having a sexual relationship with a student.
Bradley Thomas Love, 26, was arrested and charged with improper relationship between educator and student, a second-degree felony punishable by 2 to 20 years in prison.
Love is a teacher and head high school boys’ basketball coach in Medina ISD, a one-school district located in Bandera and Kerr counties with about 240 students and 30 teachers.
Kerrville police arrested Love on Saturday. Jail records show the offense occurred on April 25.
“Improper relationship” includes sexual contact or sexually explicit communication with a student, regardless of the student’s age.
Love was booked into the Kerr County Jail on June 14 and released the same day on a $50,000 bond.
Medina ISD Superintendent Lindsey Kunz issued a statement acknowledging Love’s arrest and indicating that he began working for the district in August of 2024 as a teacher and coach.
“The Medina School District is cooperating with law enforcement in Kerr County to ensure a full investigation,” stated Kunz.
State records show Love does not hold a Texas teaching certificate, and he is not currently listed on the state’s Do Not Hire Registry of people ineligible to work in a public school.
School district officials are required by law to report noncertified employees to the Texas Education Agency within seven business days after an employee resigns or is terminated and there is evidence of sexual misconduct.
The district has not yet confirmed Love’s current employment status, although his name no longer appears in Medina ISD’s online teacher directory.
Love graduated in 2017 from Tivy High School in Kerrville ISD, where he played varsity basketball. He then attended Schreiner University in Kerrville, where he also played basketball.
Hundreds of Texas teachers, coaches, and other school employees have been accused of sex crimes involving students and children in just the past few years.
Thousands of cases of educator sexual misconduct have been reported to the state since the TEA began keeping organized records in 2021.
