Dirk's Alleged Fiancée Reveals Her Real Name

BEAUMONT (CBS 11 NEWS / AP) ― One mystery has been solved about the woman arrested at NBA star Dirk Nowitzki's Dallas home: her name.

Crista Ann Taylor, 37, has been listed under eight aliases, most often Crystal Taylor. When she made her initial court appearance Monday on a theft of services charge, the judge asked her to clarify her name.  She responded it was Crista Ann Taylor -- spelling it for the judge.  She also told the judge she has no money for an attorney, no income, no property and no savings.

Taylor's charged in a 2006 indictment alleging she didn't pay for dental services ranging from $1,500 to $20,000 and remains in the Jefferson County Jail in Beaumont on a $50,000 bond. She'll be arraigned June 8.

If convicted of the theft of services charge, a state jail felony, Taylor could be sentenced to prison for up to two years.

Sources tell CBS 11 News that Nowitzki is engaged to Taylor, but he has repeatedly declined to discuss his relationship with her.
