Among the hundreds of suspects who participated in a riot and attack at the U.S. Capitol building, 15 were from the Houston area, and dozens more were from Texas. What happened on Jan. 6, 2021 is a day many say they will never forget and an event which divided Americans across the nation.
On that day, a joint session of the United States Congress convened at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C.
During the session, elected members of the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate were meeting in separate chambers of the Capitol building to certify the vote count of the Electoral College of the 2020 Presidential Election. Mike Pence, who was vice president at the time, was present and presiding. As the proceedings continued in both the House and the Senate, a large crowd gathered outside the U.S. Capitol.
Police attempted to maintain order and keep the crowd from entering the Capitol, but shortly after 2 p.m., individuals in the crowd forced their way inside by breaking windows and climbing walls, allegedly assaulting members of the police along the way.
Here is a complete list of people from Texas charged in the incident. They are listed by name, the location where they were arrested and charges filed against them.
