My name is Holly Elayne Lapin.
I’m writing this myself because I don’t know how else to get home to my kids.
On August 13, 2026, I was booked in Williamson County, Texas. Booking ID 2026-07269.
The charge is a bench warrant / bond increase for fraud use / possession of identifying information (5 to fewer than 10 items).
Bond is $75,000. I can’t post it. Until I can, I’m in here and my children are out there without me.
I’m not going to lie on this page. I made choices that hurt people.
Using someone else’s identifying information is not a small thing, and I’m ashamed.
I have to answer for it in court. I’m asking for help so I can answer for it and still be a mother.
I have kids. They didn’t do this. They still need me for school, for bedtime, for the ordinary days. I don’t want them to grow up visiting me through glass. I told myself I would change—and I mean it: no more of the life that put me here, full compliance with the court, and showing up for them every day I’m allowed to.
Bond isn’t walking away from consequences. It’s the only way I can get out, go to court, try to keep any work and housing I still have, and keep my kids from paying a second price they never earned.
If you can give $10, $25, $100—or share this—it goes to my Williamson County bond so I can come home and face this standing up.
Thank you for seeing my kids in this, not just a booking sheet.
