A career criminal is causing problems for a business owner in Houston. The individual, Richard Herrin, has been charged with 12 felonies since 2025. Despite being convicted of four felonies this year, Herrin spent only a short time in the Harris County Jail.

This has led to renewed calls for stricter penalties for repeat offenders who commit felonies. Further details on the situation and the impact on the business owner are available from Fox 26 Houston. The case has raised concerns about the effectiveness of current penalties for habitual felony thieves.
