Round Rock man with 28 previous convictions sentenced again on drug-related charges

AUSTIN (KXAN) — On Tuesday, a Round Rock man was sentenced to serve 30 years in prison on drug-related charges, according to the Williamson County District Attorney’s office.

The DA’s office said a jury found 40-year-old Austin McClure Bounds guilty of the manufacturing or delivery of methamphetamine. The charge stemmed from a six-month investigation by the Round Rock Police Department into illegal narcotics sales.

“The investigation included multiple tips from the public, surveillance, and traffic stops related to drug sales,” the DA’s office said.

According to the DA, Bounds has a lengthy criminal record that includes 28 previous convictions for various crimes.

“Despite having 11 previous felony convictions, Bounds has never been sentenced to more than 2 years in prison-- until today,” the DA’s office said.
