The boyfriend at the center of the Houston House of Horrors case made his first court appearance on Thursday to face a charge of felony murder for the beating death of his girlfriend's eight-year-old son, whose skeletal remains were discovered over the weekend in an apartment alongside the boy's three surviving brothers. 

Brian Coulter, 31, clad in an orange jumpsuit was led into the courtroom in handcuffs and shackles, marking his first public appearance since his arrest on Tuesday. 

A judge read the charge against Coulter aloud and asked the defendant if he understood it. Coulter repeated the charge he is facing back to the judge. 

On Wednesday, the judge set Coulter's bond at $1million, although he did not attended that earlier hearing because he was on a mental health hold.

During his first appearance, Coulter signed documents barring him from making any contact with his girlfriend Gloria Williams' three surviving sons.
