Texas Mutual Insurance Company reported that a Houston woman pleaded guilty to workers’ compensation fraud-related charges in a Travis County district court. The court sentenced Sheryl K. Reynolds to a 10-year probation and ordered her to repay $21,976 in benefits and pay a $1,000 fine.
According to Texas Mutual, Reynolds reported a job-related injury while working as a secretary for B-K Company in Houston. She claimed she was unable to work as a result of the injuries, and Texas Mutual Insurance Company began paying her disability income benefits.
