'A teacher facing trial for having sex with a 15-year-old student is feared to have been planning to elope with him to Mexico.

Kathryn Murray, 29, was found with the teenager at her father's home despite a court order banning any contact.

The 29-year-old was ordered to surrender her passport when she appeared before a judge in Houston, Texas on Saturday.

Prosecutors fear she was on the verge of leaving the U.S. to start a new life in Mexico with the teenager.

Murray is due to go on trial later this year on four under-age sex charges and faces up to 20 years in jail.

She is accused of having sex with the boy at his home, in her classroom and a hotel. The middle school teacher was found with the boy, now aged 16, at the home she shares with her father in Houston.'
