AUSTIN, Texas -
A 45-year-old sex offender is now one of the top 10 Most Wanted men in Texas.
Santos Francisco Sanchez was convicted of sexually assaulting a 12-year-old girl in Fort Worth back in 1996.
He served time and was released to a halfway house in Hidalgo County in 2003, but he never registered himself as a sex offender, as is required by law.
Sanchez has relatives in Tarrant County and was known to live there before his arrest. He has training as a carpenter, the Department of Public Safety says.
He is 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighs about 205 lbs. His tattoos include: dragon/skulls/devils on his left forearm, a heart on his upper left arm, a peacock on his upper right arm and heart/rose on his right forearm.
