Texas authorities have put a price on the head of a wanted Fort Worth man, offering up to $6,000 for information that gets him back in custody. The Texas Department of Public Safety has added Alejandro Villegas to its sex offender wanted roster and warns he should be considered armed and dangerous.

According to the listing, Villegas is a 30-year-old white (Hispanic) male, about 6 feet tall and 185 pounds, with a last known location of Fort Worth and ties to both Tarrant and Dallas counties. He is wanted for Failure to Comply with Sex Offender Registration Requirements and for a probation violation tied to an original sexual assault conviction. The listing also notes outstanding warrants and the posted reward amount, per the Texas Department of Public Safety.

Local outlet 101.9 The Bull Amarillo picked up the DPS alert on July 1, sharing the agency’s details, including the reward and how to pass along tips. As reported by 101.9 The Bull Amarillo, anyone with information can call the Texas Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-252-8477 or submit an anonymous tip through the P3 tips web form.

Criminal history and recent warrants

DPS records show Villegas was arrested by Arlington police in 2017 on robbery charges and by Grand Prairie police in 2022 on a sexual assault charge involving a 16-year-old. He received probation in both cases. A Tarrant County warrant for probation violation was issued on January 23, 2026, and the Fort Worth Police Department issued a separate warrant for failure to comply with sex offender registration on March 29, 2026, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety.

What failing to register can mean

Under Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 62, failing to comply with sex offender registration requirements is itself a criminal offense. Penalties can range from state jail felonies to higher-degree felonies, depending on the registrant’s status. That setup means a registration violation can add separate criminal exposure on top of any probation violations, according to Justia.

How to report tips and stay safe

Anyone who knows where Villegas might be is urged to contact Texas Crime Stoppers at 1-800-252-8477 or use the state’s P3 tips portal. Tips are anonymous and may be eligible for the posted reward. Coverage by 101.9 The Bull Amarillo and the DPS posting both emphasize that members of the public should not approach or try to detain the suspect and should instead call law enforcement.
