Another most wanted illegal immigrant from Texas has been arrested

The illegal criminal on Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s highest wanted list has been taken into custody.

Special agents with the Department of Public Safety’s Criminal Investigation Division arrested Victor Hugo Chox Gonzalez, 38, in Fort Worth on Friday. He was booked into the Tarrant County Jail.

Gonzalez was wanted for several crimes, including aggravated sexual abuse of a child, indecent sexual contact with a minor, and failure to identify as a fugitive. These crimes made him the most wanted fugitive on Abbott’s list.

A DPS press release described Chox Gonzalez as a “criminal illegal immigrant from Mexico with ties to Tarrant County, including the cities of Pantego and Arlington.”

Gonzalez has a long criminal history dating back to 2016, when he was arrested for drunk driving with a child under 15 and assault on a family member.
