ANGELINA COUNTY — Federal agents are looking for a Lufkin man believed to be on the run because he is afraid a July 4 arrest will affect his parolee status on a 99-year prison sentence for cocaine possession. Rene Tamez, 41, no-showed a court date following the July 4 disturbance with his father-in-law in which he was arrested, according to the federal agent with the Office of the Inspector General.
The arrest was a violation of his parole, but he bonded out of the Angelina County Jail before the Texas Department of Criminal Justice could put a hold on him, the agent said. Tamez received a 99-year sentence in August 1998 and paroled out in 2007. Tamez works as a painter in the Lufkin area and is 5 foot 6, 170 pounds with black hair and brown eyes.
