Couch was arraigned Friday morning in Fort Worth. Her attorney was not present, but arrived at the courthouse later.

Stephanie Patton, Couch's attorney, said that she and her client met with the judge behind closed doors after the arraignment.

Couch will plead not guilty, Patton said, but did not enter a formal plea at Friday's arraignment.
