  • Just one month ago, Texas DPS officials announced the creation of its “10 Most Wanted Criminal Illegal Immigrants List,” Breitbart Texas reported. One day later, DPS announced the arrest of Servando Trejo Duran Jr., 62, who was just taken into custody this afternoon in Baytown.

    According to the Department of Public Safety:

    Duran is a criminal illegal immigrant from Mexico with ties to eastern Harris County, including the cities of Baytown and Deer Park, Texas. In 1980, Duran was arrested by the Baytown Police Department for burglary of a residence and subsequently received 10 years’ probation.

In February 2023, Duran was arrested by the Deer Park Police Department for tampering with a government record and was released on bond. On March 1, 2023, the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles issued a warrant for his arrest for a parole violation (original offense: murder with a deadly weapon).

    A few days later, police arrested the man at the top of the most-wanted list. Law enforcement officials in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex arrested 38-year-old Victor Hugo Chox Gonzalez.

    DPS officials report:

    Chox Gonzalez is a criminal illegal immigrant from Mexico with ties to Tarrant County, including the cities of Pantego and Arlington.

    Under Governor Abbott’s Operation Lone Star, Texas law enforcement officials arrested more than 43,400 criminal aliens who illegally crossed the border from Mexico into the Lone Star State. Those arrests led to the filing of nearly 39,000 felony charges.
