A Tarrant County jury has handed a 25-year prison sentence to a Fort Worth-area woman tied to what prosecutors say was a full-blown counterfeit-document operation running out of a Euless apartment.
Prosecutors said the case began in April 2022, when Euless police served a search warrant at the apartment where 34-year-old Anje Vincent was staying. Inside, officers reported finding a haul that looked more like a small print shop than a living space: fake driver’s licenses, fraudulent credit cards, card stock, counterfeit treasury notes and machines used to pump out bogus IDs. Police also seized narcotics and stolen firearms at the scene.
The Tarrant County District Attorney’s Office said a jury convicted Vincent of tampering with government records, and a judge followed by sentencing her to 25 years in prison. According to the office, Assistant District Attorneys Glynis McGinty and Anastaisia Frane prosecuted the case, with investigator Andrew Cheramie assisting. In a post on Tarrant County DA, the office publicly thanked the Euless Police Department for its work on the case.

What investigators found
Materials pulled from the apartment pointed to a commercial-scale setup for cranking out fake identity documents and payment cards, rather than a one-off scheme. Officers reported seizing card stock, printing equipment and completed counterfeit driver’s licenses and fraudulent credit cards. Alongside the financial-fraud tools, law enforcement also removed illegal drugs and firearms from the location.
Why the sentence stands out
Tampering with a governmental record in Texas is a flexible charge that can swing from a misdemeanor to a felony, depending on what was altered and why. According to the Texas Penal Code Section 37.10, penalties vary with the circumstances and can include prison time when tied to fraud or more serious falsification. That wide range means outcomes can differ dramatically from case to case. In Vincent’s situation, the District Attorney’s Office said the judge imposed a 25-year sentence.
Local impact and next steps
In its public statement, the DA’s office praised Euless officers and warned that sophisticated counterfeit operations like this can fuel identity theft and a host of related crimes. The same Tarrant County DA post highlighted the prosecutors and investigator who handled the case and thanked local partners as the conviction moves toward finality. Any appeals or post-conviction moves will appear in court records as the case continues through the legal system.
