BAYTOWN (CBSDFW.COM/AP) — Police say a Texas man questioned in the shooting deaths of a mother and her 13-year-old daughter has been charged with resisting arrest.

Baytown police say the search continues for an older daughter who's acquainted with 21-year-old Jesse Dobbs of Baytown. Galveston County jail records show Dobbs was being held Thursday on $50,000 bond.

Baytown police say Dobbs was arrested late Tuesday near Texas City, just hours after authorities found the bodies of 37-year-old Cynthia Morris and her daughter, Breanna Pavilicek, in the family's home.

An Amber Alert was then issued for the woman's 16-year-old daughter, Kirsten Fritch.

Kristen Fritch is a white female who stands 5'1" and weighs about 135 pounds. She has green eyes and brown hair. Anyone with information on Fritch's whereabouts is urged to call 911 or contact the Baytown Police Department at 281-420-6617.

A police statement says investigators believe Dobbs has information about the slayings and the whereabouts of Fritch, but has not cooperated.

Jail records don't list an attorney to speak for him.
