A 46-year-old man suspected of cutting his ankle monitor and going on a weeklong crime spree in the Houston area has been charged with two counts of murder and is expected to get an additional murder charge on Wednesday, the authorities said.

The man, Jose Gilberto Rodriguez, was caught on Tuesday after a car chase with deputies that took him through neighborhoods near and in Houston, Texas’s largest city, where the authorities say he carried out his spree.

They have linked him to three killings, a home invasion, robberies and an assault of a city bus driver between July 9 and July 16. In some of the cases, the authorities said, he drove away in the cars of his victims.

Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez and Chief Art Acevedo of the Houston Police Department announced Tuesday that they had charged Mr. Rodriguez with capital murder in the killing of Pamela Johnson, 62, last Friday. Her body was found inside her Cypress home, outside of Houston, and her car had been stolen.
