Authorities are accusing a Texas mother of selling her seven-year-old son and trying to sell her two young daughters.

Texas Department of Public Safety said Tuesday that 29-year-old Esmeralda Garza of Corpus Christi was arrested Friday. 

She remained in the Nueces County jail on Wednesday on a charge of sale or purchase of a child. Bond was set at $100,000. Jail records did not list an attorney for her.

DPS says that agents were executing a drug search warrant in Corpus Christi when they located a seven-year-old who had allegedly been sold and purchased. He had been purchased by two other men, according to KRIS-TV.

 Authorities say two girls, ages two and three, were in the process of being sold.

The case remains under investigation and more charges are expected to be filed against the woman.

A man and woman were arrested as a result of the drug investigation and more charges are expected in that case. 

They were also transported to Nueces County Jail.
