Thank You For Helping Catch This POS

This isn't the first time a criminal we've discussed has been taken into custody thanks to help from Texans. Our article about Matthew Hoy Edgar went viral thanks to your shares, and he was captured shortly after we talked about his crimes.

When we published our first article about Santos Ramirez, you shared it and helped it go viral too, and now this absolute lowlife is back behind bars where he belongs.

While this is wonderful news, there are still fugitives that need to be brought into custody and put back in their cages.

Dangerous fugitives such as Margaret Smith, and Cesar Soto-Bolanos are still wanted for horrific offenses and have disappeared from the public eye.

It's time to round 'em up.
