Tipster Helps Authorities Capture Featured Fugitive in Marble Falls Sheridan Nolen… June 26, 2026 AUSTIN – Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) 10 Most Wanted Sex Offender Victor Ramos Jr. – who was this month’s Featured Fugitive – is back in custody after being captured in Marble Falls last weekend. An increased Texas Crime Stoppers reward will be paid for his arrest. Victor Manuel Ramos Jr. , 19, was taken into custody on June 21, 2026, by the Marble Falls Police Department at a business in the area after following up on tip information. DPS Criminal Investigations Division (CID) Special Agents assisted in the investigation. In April 2025, Ramos was convicted in Burnet Co. of sexual assault of a child and indecency with a child by sexual contact following an incident with a 16-year-old girl. He was given 10 years of probation. Ramos had been wanted out of Llano Co. since Aug. 15, 2025, for failure to comply with sex offender registration requirements. On Aug. 21, 2025, a warrant was also issued out of Burnet Co. for his arrest for a probation violation, stemming from his original charges from April 2025. More information about Ramos can be found here.
