LONGVIEW, Texas - A Texas mother remained in jail Thursday after police said she made her 12-year-old daughter drive her to a bar.

Jennifer Lynn Rosenburg was arrested Wednesday and accused of child endangerment.

Police stopped a minivan Wednesday that had turned into a driveway without using a turn signal and then ran into the home at a low speed. The driver was Rosenburg's 12-year-old daughter, who said she had just dropped off her mother at a bar, police said.

Police found Rosenburg, 35, at the bar, and she admitted having her daughter drive her there, according to a police report.

She remained in the Gregg County Jail on Thursday night on a $2,500 bond. A jail official declined to say whether she had an attorney.

Child Protective Services is investigating, spokeswoman Shari Pulliam said in a story on the Longview News-Journal's Web site Thursday.
