Crystal Taylor was arrested in May at Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki's house in Dallas.

BEAUMONT, Texas — Dirk Nowitzki’s former fiancee was transferred from a Texas jail to a lockup in Missouri on Tuesday, authorities said.

Crystal Taylor, arrested at the Mavericks star’s Dallas home in May, was taken to Missouri after posting bond through a bail agency in Jefferson County. Keith Day of Professional Bail Bonding in Beaumont was listed as the agent who paid, but officials there said they were unable to determine where the money came from.

Taylor, 38, faces probation violation charges in Missouri. She was charged with theft in Beaumont, Texas, for allegedly failing to pay for $10,000 worth of dental work in 2006.

Taylor has told The Dallas Morning News that she is pregnant with Nowitzki’s child. Nowitzki has filed for custody if a paternity test proves he’s the father.

Corrections officials in St. Charles County, Mo., said Taylor arrived early Tuesday to face probation violations stemming from 1997 charges of forgery and stealing. She is scheduled to appear in court Monday for a bond reduction hearing in Missouri, court documents said.

Calls to Taylor’s attorney Scott Renick were not immediately returned.
