Were they waiting for this to pass to charge her?
Perhaps waiting to apply this - because it was already a capital crime since she kidnapped the baby, but maybe because there's evidence that HB "willingly" entered the car, the capital circumstance of murder in the commission of the felony of kidnapping would be more difficult to get a conviction on. Good work, if so.

What is Capital Murder - Terror/Fel in Texas?
A person accused of causing the death of another while in the commission or attempted commission of kidnapping, robbery, burglary, aggravated sexual assault, arson, obstruction or retaliation, or terroristic threat is charged with Capital Murder under Penal Code Section 19.03. This charge is often abbreviated as "Capital Murder - Terror/Fel."

What is the difference between murder and capital murder?
 
From the article:

[...]

According to a one-page indictment released Tuesday, Magen Fieramusca asphyxiated Heidi Broussard by “ligature estrangulation, with a leash and with her hand.”

Fieramusca faces up to life in prison if convicted.

[...]

According to an arrest affidavit unsealed this month charging Fieramusca with kidnapping and tampering, she set up an elaborate hoax in which she pretended for months to be pregnant and planned to present Broussard's infant as her own.

[...]

Attention began focusing on Fieramusca about six days after Broussard and the baby disappeared after police interviewed a woman who lived in their apartment complex. ...

[...]

As authorities began investigating Fieramusca, they obtained a search warrant for her internet search history. ...

Investigators began watching the Houston-area home where Fieramusca was living and noticed her car was parked in a way that looked as though its owner may have been trying to hide it, the affidavit said.
