BEXAR COUNTY, Texas – A Bexar County man, who allegedly killed his wife and hid her body for a little more than a month, could be headed for trial for murder soon.
Charles Byrd, 50, was in court Wednesday morning for a status update on his case.
In July 2025, Byrd’s wife, Angela, was found hidden in plastic bags and rugs inside their home. According to Byrd’s arrest warrant, investigators believed her body had been hidden for about 32 days.
After his arrest, Byrd allegedly confessed to killing his wife after he thought she was cheating on him.
In court on Wednesday, Byrd was given a plea deadline of April 9. If a deal isn’t agreed on, his murder trial will begin April 13.
If convicted, Byrd faces up to life in prison.
