Overview

  • The arraignment is scheduled for 8 a.m. on Aug. 14 at the Washington County Detention Center before Judge Joanna Taylor with McGann held without bond.
  • McGann faces two counts of capital murder in the July 26 slayings of Clinton and Cristen Brink and prosecutors have indicated they will seek the death penalty.
  • He taught in four school districts across Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas after passing all legally required background checks and maintaining active teaching licenses.
  • An internal review by Lewisville ISD found his classroom management and professional judgment were below district standards, though no evidence of inappropriate student misconduct was uncovered.
  • Parents of a former student reported concerns that McGann kept girls after recess and had a child sit on his lap during one-on-one sessions, raising early warning-sign questions.
