A 19-year-old from Horseshoe Bay is now front and center on the Texas Department of Public Safety’s radar. State officials have named Victor Manuel Ramos Jr. as the Texas DPS featured fugitive for June and are offering a cash reward for information that leads to his arrest. Ramos is wanted on warrants out of both Llano and Burnet counties, including a failure-to-register charge and a probation-violation warrant. Authorities describe him as about 5 feet 6 inches tall and 170 pounds.
Who the state is looking for
This month, the Texas Department of Public Safety placed Ramos on its Texas 10 Most Wanted sex offenders list, citing original offenses of sexual assault of a child and indecency with a child by sexual contact. His last known address is listed as Horseshoe Bay. A tip in June that helps lead to his arrest could be eligible for a reward of up to $4,000, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety.
Case background and local warrants
Local coverage and court records show Ramos was convicted in Burnet County in April 2025 of sexual assault of a child and indecency with a child by sexual contact and received a 10-year probation sentence. Burnet County issued a probation-violation warrant in August 2025. That same month, Llano County issued a separate warrant for failure to comply with sex-offender registration requirements, according to KEYE.
Reward and reporting
DPS is very clear on one point: do not try to make an arrest yourself. Tips are treated as anonymous, and callers are given a tip number instead of a name. Information can be submitted through the statewide Crime Stoppers hotline or the DPS online tip portal, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety. The agency classifies listed sex offenders as potentially dangerous and urges anyone with information to contact law enforcement immediately.
Legal status
Court filings and local reporting outline Ramos’s probation sentence and the outstanding warrants that led to his DPS listing. If he is located, authorities would be in a position to take him into custody on the probation and registration charges. Details of the Burnet County conviction and the Llano County registration warrant were reported by KEYE, which cites court records.
How to report tips
Anyone with information about Ramos’s whereabouts is asked to call the Texas Crime Stoppers tip line at 1-800-252-TIPS (8477) or submit an anonymous web tip. Authorities stress that people should not approach Ramos if they see him. The state’s Crime Stoppers program notes that both hotline calls and web tips are anonymous and can be used to claim rewards, according to Texas Crime Stoppers.
