SAN ANGELO, TX — Reagan County authorities have issued a new felony arrest warrant for a lifetime registered sex offender who was taken into custody last month in Tom Green County, posted bond, and then failed to update his registration as required by Texas law.
Macario Perez Oropeza Jr. is wanted on a charge of failure to comply with sex offender registration requirements, the Reagan County Sheriff’s Office stated. Under state law, people convicted of certain sex offenses must register for life and update that registration annually with the local law enforcement agency where they live.
Oropeza was registered with the Reagan County Sheriff’s Office. His last recorded update was Nov. 20, 2023. In August, he was arrested in Tom Green County on a Reagan County warrant for failing to comply with lifetime/annual sex offender registration. After posting bond and being released, he was required to update his registration with Reagan County deputies no later than the seventh day after his release.
As of the new warrant, he has not done so and has not contacted the Reagan County Sheriff’s Office or any other law enforcement agency, officials said. They described the continued failure as a serious violation that presents public safety concerns.
Anyone with information about Oropeza’s whereabouts is asked to call the Reagan County Sheriff’s Office at 325-884-2424. Tips will be kept confidential. Officials cautioned the public not to approach or try to detain him.
