( CNN ) -- The woman charged in a deadly day care fire that killed four small children is expected to be back in Texas within the next 24 hours , a U.S. Congresswoman said Monday . Jessica Tata , who has dual citizenship in the U.S. and Nigeria , fled to Lagos shortly after the fatal fire at her Houston home in February . She arrived in Atlanta early Monday morning and was booked into Fulton County Jail , officials said in a statement . Tata also made an appearance in magistrate court , where she waived her extradition rights . According to U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee , arrangements are being made for her transport back to Texas . However , Lee did not know exactly when Tata would arrive in Houston or how she would be traveling . Investigators allege that Tata , a 22-year-old day care owner , left seven children alone at her Houston day care center with the stove on while she went to a store in February . Four children died , and three others were injured in the blaze . Tata was taken into custody Saturday in Port Harcourt , Nigeria , by Interpol and U.S. diplomatic security agents , officials said . At a news conference Monday , Lee said Tata turned herself in to authorities after a `` monumental '' effort between the U.S. and Nigerian governments , along with Tata 's family in Lagos . `` We now have the opportunity to move forward , '' Lee said , adding that she worked closely with the U.S. Embassy in Nigeria and spoke with the Nigerian ambassador to the U.S. to make sure Tata 's return was a `` top priority . '' On Sunday , Lee gathered with Houston 's Nigerian community for a memorial service in honor of the four children lost in the fire , where ministers `` pleaded '' for Tata to return home . U.S. marshals were asked to join the search by Harris County authorities after Tata left the Houston area . They added the missing woman to their 15 Most Wanted Fugitives list in March . Tata has been indicted on felony charges in the fatal fire , including four counts of manslaughter , six counts of reckless injury to a child , three counts of abandoning a child under 15 and unlawful flight to avoid prosecution . The Harris County district attorney 's office said it would not comment on the case until Tata is back in its custody . CNN 's Antoinette Campbell contributed to this report .
