The Texas Department of Public Safety is offering $8,000 for information that will lead to the arrest of a 53-year-old violent sex offender from San Antonio.

Robert Bryan Chrismon was sentenced to a 55-year prison term in 1981 for kidnapping and raping a female high school student, according to DPS.

Chrismon also received an additional 10 years on his sentence for attempting to stab a Corpus Christi police officer during an arrest.

The sex offender, now 53, escaped from a Texas Department of Corrections prison with three other inmates in 1986.

The escapees overpowered a guard and fled the prison on horseback, according to Chrismon's most wanted profile.

Authorities later caught Chrismon and slapped another five years on his prison sentence.

The Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles issued a parole warrant for his arrest on Sept. 9, 2012.

Chrismon is also wanted on a Bexar County warrant issued Oct. 1, 2012, for failure to comply with sex offender registration.
