A 28-year-old man is accused of breaking into a woman’s apartment twice in one night to sexually assault her, according to an arrest affidavit.
Daniel West Rendon was charged with burglary of habitation with intent to commit felony force after his arrest on Wednesday.
Police said that the victim was sleeping in her apartment on July 4, when she awoke to find an unknown man, later identified as Rendon, with his pants down and sexually assaulting her, the affidavit said. Her two children, who were in the room with her, woke up when she started screaming.

The woman got out of bed and was able to overpower Rendon and push him out of the apartment. According to the affidavit, she did not call the police because she did not have a phone inside the apartment and returned to sleep.
A short time later, she awoke to again find Rendon inside her apartment, the affidavit said. This time, he pinned her to the bed by her neck and told her he was going to sexually assault her, the affidavit continued.
The victim once again overpowered Rendon to get him out of the apartment. She told police she believes Rendon got into her apartment through a patio door she later discovered was wide open.
After the second incident, she used her laptop computer to video call her sister, who notified the police.
During the investigation, a traffic ticket belonging to Rendon was found inside the victim’s apartment, allowing police to ID Rendon, who is a registered sex offender and lives 3 miles from the woman’s residence.
Rendon is in the Bexar County Jail with a bail amount set at $100,000.
