One of the original offenders on the Department of Public Safety's inaugural list of Texas 10 Most Wanted Sex Offender's has been arrested in Mexico.

Dallas Wayne Waddell, 49, had been wanted in Hill County, Texas for failure to register as a sex offender, burglary of a habitation and a parole violation.

He had evaded capture for almost a decade and became one of the original inclusions on the DPS sex offender list when launched in July 2010.

Working on a tip, the DPS Criminal Investigations Division and U.S Marshals Service were able to coordinate with members of Mexican law enforcement to locate and arrest Waddell on Aug. 21 in Guadalupe Victoria, Durango, Mexico without incident.

He has since been deported back to Texas.

The DPS will payout $3,000 to the tipster or tipsters that helped lead to his capture. In 2014 alone, the DPS has paid out $40,500 in rewards for tips that have led to 17 arrests among Texas 10 Most Wanted Fugitives and Sex Offenders.
