Angel Dominguez
Introduction
Angel Dominguez, a 21-year-old who worked as a temporary band technician at Hendrickson High School in Pflugerville, Texas, during the fall 2025 semester, was arrested October 20, 2026 and charged with improper relationship between an educator and student — a second-degree felony — over an alleged inappropriate relationship with a student during his time at the school. Pflugerville police, assisted by the San Marcos Police Department, took Dominguez into custody in San Marcos and booked him into the Travis County Jail. The case came to light only after a report to Child Protective Services in September 2026, roughly a year after Dominguez’s single semester at the school ended.
Background Information
Hendrickson High School is part of the Pflugerville Independent School District, northeast of Austin. Dominguez was a temporary worker, not a district employee on a continuing contract: the district said he only worked with Pflugerville ISD in the fall of 2025 as a temporary band technician, and stressed he was “only ever a temporary worker, not a student teacher,” correcting earlier descriptions of his role. The Pflugerville Police Department announced the arrest publicly on X on October 22, 2026, identifying Dominguez and asking anyone with information to come forward.
The Controversy or Incident That Led to Their Cancellation
Charged, not convicted. Dominguez faces a second-degree felony charge of improper relationship between an educator and student; he has not been tried, and he is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
According to the school district, Child Protective Services received a report in September 2026 alleging that an individual who had temporarily served as a band technician at Hendrickson during the fall 2025 semester had an inappropriate relationship with a student during that time. After learning of the report, Pflugerville ISD police detectives notified the district’s Human Resources department and met with the student; the district police department then referred the case to the Pflugerville Police Department, and HR forwarded the report and related information to “the appropriate state agency for review.” On October 20, 2026, investigators — with assistance from San Marcos police — arrested the 21-year-old in San Marcos; he was booked into the Travis County Jail on the improper-relationship charge. Police said he is accused of having the relationship with a student at Hendrickson High School while he worked there as a band tech.
Public Reaction and Consequences
The Pflugerville Police Department’s public announcement drew immediate local coverage in the Austin market, with FOX 7 Austin and KVUE both reporting the arrest and the district’s account of how the referral moved from CPS to the district’s police force to city detectives. Detectives said they are working to determine whether there are additional victims, and asked anyone with information — including anyone who believes they may have been a victim — to call the Pflugerville Police Department’s Crime Tip Line at 512-990-6731 or email [email protected]. No court dates or bond information appeared in the fetched coverage.
Current Status
Dominguez has been booked on the second-degree felony charge and the investigation remains open, with detectives seeking possible additional victims. The charge — improper relationship between an educator and student — carries two to twenty years in prison under Texas law for a second-degree felony. He has not entered a plea in the fetched record, and his first court appearance had not been reported at the time coverage was published.
Impact on Their Career/Life
Dominguez’s only documented work with the district was the fall 2025 semester band-tech job, and that one semester now defines a felony prosecution: arrested at 21, charged under the educator-student relationship statute, and named in a police appeal for additional victims. The district’s account shows the case survived the gap between the alleged relationship and the report — moving through CPS, the district’s own police department, HR, and a state agency review before an arrest was made a year later. Whatever the court outcome, his name is now permanently attached to a Pflugerville ISD criminal case that police publicized statewide.
