A Texas father was charged with three counts of attempted murder after he allegedly tried to set his house ablaze with three children inside last month.
Pedro Luis Parra Pulgar, 46, started a fire at his house on El Dorado Boulevard in Fulshear in the early morning of Nov. 6.
A neighbor called authorities to report the fire at the back of the house.
