The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) has designated Alejandro Villegas, a 32-year-old sex offender from Fort Worth, as the Featured Fugitive for July 2026. Villegas is currently on the Texas 10 Most Wanted Sex Offender list and has a reward of $6,000 for information leading to his capture, a sum that has been increased for the month of July if tips are received within this timeframe.

Villegas has been wanted since January 2026 due to a probation violation related to a previous charge of sexual assault of a child. His legal troubles began in 2022 when he was arrested by the Grand Prairie Police Department following an incident involving a 16-year-old girl.

Standing at 6 feet tall and weighing approximately 185 pounds, Villegas is known to have connections to the areas of Fort Worth, Arlington, and Dallas. The DPS encourages anyone with information about his whereabouts to report it through one of three methods: by calling the Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-252-TIPS (8477), submitting a web tip via the DPS website, or sending a tip through Facebook.

Further details regarding Villegas's current status or any ongoing investigations were not provided.
