East Texas Sex Offender Named April’s Featured Fugitive

AUSTIN – Texas 10 Most Wanted Sex Offender Jacarlos Mark is this month’s Featured Fugitive. The reward for information leading to his arrest is increased to $4,000 during April if the tip is received this month.

Jacarlos Leroy Lee Mark, 40, from Lufkin, has been wanted by the Lufkin Police Department since December 2025 for failure to comply with sex offender registration requirements. Another warrant for his arrest was also issued out of Angelina Co. on March 27, 2026, for failure to appear (possession of a controlled substance). In 2003, Mark was arrested for sexually assaulting a 15-year-old child and was later sentenced to serve seven years for the crime. He also has past convictions for engaging in organized criminal activity and manufacture/delivery of controlled substances. Mark was discharged from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) in May 2021.

Mark is 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighs about 240 pounds. He has numerous tattoos on his neck, chest, abdomen, both arms and both legs. More information about Mark or updates in the event of his arrest can be found here.
