On Friday, prosecutors were successful in getting Ethan Couch's case transferred to adult court.
He's being held in adult jail isolation, for his own safety, according to Sheriff Anderson.
Colleen Sheehey-Church, the president of Mothers Against Drunk Driving, said before the hearing that the advocacy group plans to ask the adult court judge to make prison time a condition of any future violations of probation.
Sheehey-Church said an online petition to have Couch's case moved to adult court received more than 50,000 signatures.
If Couch violates his probation as an adult over the next eight years, he could face 10 years for each of the four people he killed.
