Submitting a tip for Texas 10 Most Wanted fugitives has gone high-tech.
In addition to the Crime Stoppers phone line, concerned citizens can submit tips by text or electronically through the DPS website. Both methods maintain the anonymity of the person submitting the information.
“This will help the program appeal to a younger demographic, generate additional tips, and simply make it more convenient for many people,” said DPS Director Steven McCraw. “In addition, rewards were recently increased to $5,000 per fugitive. We need the public’s help to put these criminals back behind bars.”
From a cell phone, people can text DPS followed by your tip to 274637 (CRIMES).  To submit a tip through the DPS website, web address listed below, click on the photo of the fugitive they have information about, and under their picture is a link that allows them to submit a tip.
