MATAGORDA COUNTY, TX - STATE SPONSORED CHILD ABUSE COUNTYWIDE
Urgent Citizen Request: Execute Arrests Under TCCP Article 13.075 – Child Endangerment, Injury to Child & Family Violence Charges (Charlotte Ross-Mach, DOB 11/10/2018)
Dear Sheriff,
I am writing as a concerned Texas citizen with no personal connection to the parties involved. I recently reviewed publicly available evidence online, including a detailed 26-page timeline prepared by the child’s mother, medical records, forensic nurse reports, photographs of injuries, audio recordings of outcries, court transcripts, and DFPS investigation documents. This evidence strongly supports the criminal charges already filed against Aaron Lance Mach and Shelby Sharon Mach.
The charges include:
• Continuous Family Violence
• Injury to a Child
• Aggravated Assault (Impeding Airway)
• Injury to a Child with Serious Bodily Injury
…committed against Charlotte Ross-Mach (DOB 11/10/2018) from December 21, 2022 to the present. These are offenses under Title 5 of the Texas Penal Code involving a minor victim under age 18.
Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Article 13.075 expressly provides that such offenses may be prosecuted in any of the following jurisdictions:
1. The county in which an element of the offense was committed → Matagorda County (where the child sustained the documented injuries during court-ordered visitations at the Mach residence);
2. The county in which the defendant is apprehended → Any county in Texas;
3. The county in which the victim resides → Mills County or Lampasas County (the child’s primary residence with her mother at the time of this visits);
4. The county in which the defendant resides → Matagorda County (Bay City area, the Machs’ residence).
The publicly posted evidence includes forensic documentation of 42 separate injuries (including signs of strangulation, blunt-force trauma, and asphyxiation), weight loss of approximately 13% of the child’s body weight, petechiae, and outcry statements made to therapists and investigators. Multiple medical and law-enforcement professionals have corroborated the injuries.
As a concerned Texas citizen, I respectfully request that your office immediately review the publicly available evidence and execute any existing warrants or initiate arrest proceedings for Aaron Lance Mach and Shelby Sharon Mach. The child’s safety is at immediate risk, and Article 13.075 clearly authorizes action in the jurisdictions listed above.
The following three agencies already have the full records, identifying information, and contacts needed to support these charges:
