Just more than a week after Governor Greg Abbott launched Texas’ 10 Most Wanted Criminal Illegal Immigrants List, the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) has captured the No. 1 most wanted fugitive from that list.
Victor Hugo Chox Gonzalez, 38, who was wanted for aggravated sexual assault of a child and indecency with a child by sexual contact, was taken into custody in Fort Worth on June 13, 2024, by DPS Special Agents and booked into the Tarrant County Jail. Chox Gonzalez’s arrest was a result of investigative efforts and a series of leads by DPS Special Agents assigned to his case. A Crime Stoppers reward will not be paid in Chox Gonzalez’s arrest.
Chox Gonzalez is a criminal illegal immigrant from Mexico with ties to Tarrant County, including the cities of Pantego and Arlington. In 2016, he was convicted of driving while intoxicated with a child under the age of 15 and assault causing bodily injury to a family member. That same year, Chox Gonzalez was removed from the United States. In 2021, he was arrested in Tarrant County for assault and failure to identify/giving false/fictitious information and bonded out of jail. Later that year, warrants were issued out of Tarrant County for his arrest for failure to identify/give false/fictitious information and failure to identify as a fugitive. In 2023, the Arlington Police Department issued warrants for his arrest for aggravated sexual assault of a child and indecency with a child by sexual contact.
