Timothy Morales of Needville was arrested March 11 for first-degree felony injury to a child, serious bodily injury, which carries the possibility of life in prison. Fort Bend County family District Court Judge Ron Pope set his bail at $500,000, and his lawyer asked a different judge on Tuesday to lower that bond.
