Dante Dewayne Odom, 52, has been wanted out of Harris County since June for failing to comply with his registration requirements.
He was convicted in 1992 of burglary of a habitation with the intent to violate/abuse the victim sexually, and was sentenced to 12 years in prison. Since then, DPS says he's been known to fail to comply.
Odom was last released from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice in 2022.
The fugitive is described as 6' and about 160 pounds. He has tattoos on his chest, right arm and right hand. He also has scars on his head, face, and body.
