Federal prosecutors say Grace Carol Brown tried to ignite the building with a backpack of accelerants and a burning magazine.
- A federal grand jury in San Antonio indicted 22-year-old Grace Carol Brown on Friday for attempting to damage the Comal County Republican Party Headquarters by fire, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Western District of Texas announced.
- On January 14, 2026, Brown allegedly broke a window at the building in the 200 block of Landa Street and threw a backpack containing fuel inside before lighting a rolled magazine on fire and throwing it into the structure.
- Writings found by investigators showed Brown "displayed antipathy through writings and actions" toward the Comal County Republican Party Headquarters, law enforcement including ICE, and certain Executive Branch officials.
- Brown faces federal charges of actual and attempted malicious damage by fire to property involved in interstate commerce; if convicted, she faces five to 20 years in federal prison.
