Texas prosecutors are seeking to revoke the bond for the mother of the Texas "affluenza" youth, saying she violated bail terms ahead of her trial on charges of aiding her son escape to Mexico, according to court documents filed on Tuesday.

The motion filed in state court in Tarrant County accused Tonya Couch of violating her drug- and drink-free bond terms by consuming alcohol.

"The State of Texas respectfully prays that this honorable court revoke the defendant's bond and order the re-arrest of the defendant," the motion filed by the prosecutors says.

A lawyer for Couch was not immediately available for comment. Prosecutors for Tarrant County, which is home to Fort Worth, said they could not comment due to a gag order in place for the proceedings.
