A Travis County woman who pled guilty to a charge connected to a 2016 double homicide of a mother and daughter near Commerce has been sentenced to time served.

Mabel Jean Gonzales of Austin was indicted in June 2017 on one count of tampering with or fabricating physical evidence. Gonzales pleaded guilty in April 2018 to a lesser charge of attempting to tamper with or fabricating evidence.

Gonzales has been sentenced to 393 days in a state jail, with 393 days credit. The Hunt County Sheriff’s Office said in a criminal complaint that Gonzales was the girlfriend of Tyrone Williams of San Marcos, who was convicted in November of capital murder and faces a death sentence in connection with the murders of Nichole Elizabeth Gonzales, 27, and her mother, Vicki Ann Gonzales, 51, at a home near Commerce.
