That’s obvious from his convictions, and it’s obvious from his escape, but I can tell you that TDCJ will not rest until Lopez has been captured.”.

Since his disappearance, Clark said law enforcement has received calls from residents who believe they’ve seen Lopez near their residences.

Clark said officials did see Lopez under a tree Thursday after he escape but have not been able to locate him since.

“We know from Lopez’s history and his previous attempts to get away from law enforcement that he’ll stay put and lay low with the hopes that law enforcement will move to a different area, but I can just tell you we’re not gonna move,” Clark said.
