Tonya Couch was brought back to Texas last week after being caught with 18-year-old Ethan Couch in the Mexican resort town of Puerto Vallarta.
She's charged with hindering apprehension of a felon. She's being held on $1 million bond.
Son Steven McWilliams testified at a hearing Monday that his mother can't pay a bond that high.
According to an arrest warrant, Tonya Couch had taken $30,000 from a bank account and told Ethan's father he would never see them again. They fled after Ethan Couch was accused of potentially violating his probation.
