Collin County, TX – Robert Bevers, 40, of Frisco, was sentenced to the maximum 20 years in prison for stalking a Collin County woman in 2024, Collin County District Attorney Greg Willis announced. The sentence comes after prosecutors presented evidence that Bevers had also targeted four other women dating back as far as 2016, establishing a long-running pattern of harassment.
The Crime
The case began in 2022 when a 27-year-old Frisco woman began finding unsolicited gifts left on her porch by Bevers, a man she had never met. Concerned for her safety, the victim installed surveillance cameras that captured Bevers’s vehicle repeatedly circling her home. The victim obtained a civil protective order, which Bevers later appealed. After the order was set aside, he resumed contacting her in 2024, sending increasingly sexual and racist messages over social media and email.
The harassment prompted the victim to report the conduct to the Frisco Police Department, which launched a felony stalking investigation.
Investigation and Arrest
Detective Brenna Bearden led the investigation, securing search warrants for Bevers’s cell phone, social media accounts, and location data. The evidence revealed that Bevers had attempted to contact the victim as early as 2016, using both his real identity and fake accounts. After collecting sufficient evidence, Detective Bearden obtained an arrest warrant.
On April 29, 2024, U.S. Marshals Task Force agents arrested Bevers in connection with the case.
Trial and Evidence
Trial began on October 28, 2025. A Collin County jury found Bevers guilty of stalking, a third-degree felony carrying a standard sentence of up to 10 years. Because prosecutors alleged a prior-conviction enhancement, the punishment range increased to a maximum of 20 years.
During a two-day punishment hearing, prosecutors presented evidence of Bevers’s history as a serial stalker. Four other women testified, detailing eerily similar harassment:
-
Two former college classmates
-
The younger sister of a high-school teammate
-
A Dallas criminal defense attorney
None of these women had previously met Bevers. One victim explicitly requested the maximum sentence so that she and the others could finally have “a moment of peace.”
The court also heard that Bevers had a troubled history as a juvenile, having been committed to the Texas Youth Commission. As an adult, he served a five-year prison term for aggravated assault against his grandmother.
Judge Kim Laseter sentenced Bevers to 20 years in prison and imposed a $10,000 fine.
Statement from the District Attorney
“Serial stalkers like this destroy their victims’ peace of mind,” said DA Greg Willis. “My office exists to protect the people of Collin County, and that protection includes making sure those who prey on women face the full weight of the law.”
Prosecution Team
The case was prosecuted by Assistant Criminal District Attorneys Dewey Mitchell and Kailey Gillman, assisted by District Attorney Investigator Sarah Putman and Victim Assistance Coordinator Jill Moore.
The Collin County District Attorney’s Office emphasized the importance of reporting stalking behavior and warned that repeat offenders would face enhanced consequences under Texas law.
