Breaking Bond: Woman and man operating unlicensed funeral business free from jail; Sparks public outcry

HOUSTON - Dozens of people say they were victims of 26-year-old Javian Major and 38-year-old Sandy Broussard. The pair is accused of operating an unlicensed funeral business, stealing life insurance funds, charging for funerals and embalming that didn't happen, and mishandling bodies.

"We are charged with protecting Texas consumers in the funeral industry and these are very concerning allegations," said James White Executive Director Texas Funeral Service Commission.

"Mr Major we had to go physically find him," said Precinct 1  Constable Alan Rosen.

Major has a lengthy criminal history and a track record for skipping out on bond.  "Everytime he was charged and out on bond he forfeited the bond every single one," said Andy Kahan with Crime Stoppers "He had 7 bond forfeitures."

Yet, 262nd Criminal District Court Judge Lori Chambers Gray set Major's bond at just 10 grand. "This is very concerning," White said.

"He was in and out before you blinked," said Kahan.

"A guy like this should never have been. Let out of jail," said Rosen. "Historically I would say that for violent offenders, but this is just as bad." Major's alleged accomplice, Sandy Broussard, got a PR bond or get out of jail free card from magistrate Renette Franklin even though she has 7 felony convictions and is on parole until the year 2040.

"It's sad and if I had all the victims we have in these cases they would be just as upset just as hurt," Rosen said.  

"How do you justify giving an 11-time convicted felon who's on parole until 2040 a PR bond," said Kahan.
