HOUSTON—Returning to Texas from the war in Iraq, some soldiers seem to bring the violence home with them.

Another Marine was charged after a bar fight in College Station left a young man dead.
In Killeen, a Fort Hood soldier was convicted of killing his wife.

The Harris County Jail is full of such examples.
On any given day, the county says some 700 inmates are veterans.
