HOWARD COUNTY, TX — Over a year since the indictment in May 2023, former Forsan ISD coach Kendall Phillips has pleaded guilty to Improper Relationship Between Educator and Student, a second degree felony.
According to Josh Hamby, District Attorney for 118th Judicial District, a pre-sentence investigation was conducted and it was recommended that Phillips receive a suspended sentence which includes taking sex offender education courses and surrendering her teacher certification.
On Jan. 29, 2025, Philips received a seven-year sentence suspended for 10 years. This means that she’ll be on community supervision, also known as probation, for 10 years and if she fails to comply with the requirements it’s possible she’ll serve seven years in prison. Hamby explained that Philips is now a convicted felon, and although she is ordered to take sex offender education courses she will not be required to register as a sex offender.
