Texas Most Wanted Fugitives Have Committed Heinous Crimes

(Mabank, Texas) - I couldn't imagine being a wanted man on the run from Texas DPS. Always ducking into a room if I hear a siren. Not trusting my friends because they might turn me in for the money. That's not how I would want to live my life.

I also have never committed a serious crime, and neither have you, so it's hard to understand how a criminal actually feels. Anyone who is a fugitive from the law needs to be brought in. That's why Texas DPS has released their latest top 10 most wanted list.
