As we enter a new year, it's good to remind ourselves of those that are wanted in Texas. Why should we do that you ask? Well, you never know when one of these people could show up in your town or city.

If they're on the most wanted list, it means they've either created a heinous crime, or have been eluding police for some time now. In a lot of cases, it's both. Authorities have a reason to want to get their hands on these people, and if you happen to lead them to the arrest of one of them, it could net you a nice reward in the process.

Let's take a look at the eight most wanted individuals in Texas for January 2024. All these suspects should be considered armed and dangerous, so don't try to approach them or take matters into your own hands. Simply submit a tip or call authorities and let them handle it from there.
