According to the Bexar County District Attorney's Office, Brown and Jennifer Tran ordered a store employee to open the store's safe.
Brown and Tran got away with more than $6,000 in cash and items, according to trial testimony.
They were arrested two days later at a Travelodge on Interstate 35 following an hours-long standoff during which they went into neighboring hotel rooms and started a fire, prosecutors said.
The pair tried to escape into the attic space, but was caught by a member of the Lone Star Fugitive Task Force.
Tran was found guilty previously and sentenced to 12 years in prison.
