(José Niño, Headline USA) A former Muleshoe High School teacher could spend 10 years to life in federal prison after a grand jury charged her with enticing a minor, according to Texas Scorecard. Allegra Fey Mora, 28, remains presumed innocent unless prosecutors prove the allegation beyond a reasonable doubt.
The federal action followed Mora’s June arrest on a state charge of improper relationship between educator and student. That offense is a second-degree felony punishable by two to 20 years in prison under Texas law, Texas Scorecard previously reported.
Federal prosecutors allege that Mora used a cellular telephone from October 2025 through May 2026 to persuade, induce, entice, or coerce a minor to engage in sexual activity. The United States Attorney’s Office said the Texas Rangers opened an inquiry in June 2026 “after receiving a report concerning possible inappropriate sexual conduct between Mora and a 17-year-old Muleshoe High School student.” Investigators later conducted interviews, obtained electronic evidence, and executed search warrants.
Texas Scorecard reported that Mora joined Muleshoe ISD during the 2023 through 2024 school year, a detail also reflected in salary records. The district operates four schools, enrolls slightly more than 1,000 students, and sits about 20 miles from the New Mexico border.
Superintendent Scott Bicknell said in a June 5 district statement that administrators learned of Mora’s arrest and that she no longer worked for Muleshoe ISD.
“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 prosecution represents another case brought through Project Safe Schools, which coordinates federal, state, and local efforts to protect students and improve accountability in North Texas public schools. The initiative also targets failures to report educator misconduct and the movement of accused educators between districts without disclosure.
“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.”
The Texas Rangers handled the investigation with forensic support from Homeland Security Investigations in Dallas. Assistant U.S. Attorney Callie Woolam of the Lubbock Division is prosecuting the federal case.
Before joining Muleshoe ISD, Mora taught at Hereford ISD. She has held an English Language Arts and Reading teaching certificate since 2021, and certificate records cited by Texas Scorecard show that the Texas Education Agency is reviewing that credential.
Texas Scorecard has documented a growing number of Texas school employees accused of sexual offenses involving students and other minors through its case archive. A separate misconduct report based on agency data described thousands of reports involving sexual or violent misconduct, while the official TEA dashboard tracks reports, active investigations, disciplinary actions, and placements on the state Do Not Hire Registry.
