More details to this question:
I don't live at home anymore after I turned 18 and neither did my brother but he got involved with some bad people and the cops are looking for him for a robbery with a bunch of his friends. I know he is hiding out at my mom's house and I'm real worried about what kind of trouble she can get it for this happening. I don't think he actually had anything to do with the robbery but I think he is real scared.

The charge is called Accessory after the fact. Yes your mother can get in trouble if she knowingly hides a fugitive. It is a felony an can carry prison.
