An anonymous tip sent investigators to a home on San Antonio’s south side earlier this month, where officers arrested a man wanted on a Guadalupe County sexual assault warrant, authorities said. The bust pulled a Texas 10 Most Wanted fugitive off the streets and, according to officials, earned the tipster a Crime Stoppers cash reward. Police credited a coordinated task force with the arrest and urged anyone with information on other fugitives to stick to official tip lines.

According to the Texas Department of Public Safety, 47-year-old Herbert Lee Souvenir was taken into custody on a Friday after investigators followed up on information submitted through Crime Stoppers.

The agency said Souvenir should be considered armed and dangerous and confirmed that a Crime Stoppers reward will be paid for the tip that led to his capture.
Wanted out of Guadalupe County
Souvenir had been listed as wanted out of Guadalupe County since January for "Sexual Assault - Enhanced (Habitual)," according to Guadalupe County Crime Stoppers. The local wanted page includes a tip hotline and online form, along with reminders that the public should not attempt to detain or confront suspects. Investigators say that listing helped them zero in on Souvenir once the anonymous tip came through.
Criminal history and what comes next
The DPS capture notice outlines prior convictions for Souvenir, including a 1998 conviction for aggravated sexual assault of a child, along with later convictions for assault and burglary, and notes previous failures to comply with sex offender registration requirements.

Law enforcement agencies involved in the case pointed to the role of anonymous tips in getting repeat offenders off the street.
