Allegations and warrants <\/p>\n
Authorities say Zamora is wanted on multiple warrants, including a June 2022 warrant from Grapevine police accusing him of indecency with a child by sexual contact. Later that month, the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles issued a separate warrant for a parole violation tied to his underlying conviction for possession with intent to promote child pornography.<\/p>\n
In January 2023, Fort Worth police issued two more warrants accusing him of failing to comply with sex offender registration requirements, according to DPS.<\/p>\n
Criminal history and release <\/p>\n
Zamora\u2019s criminal history includes a 2019 conviction on 10 counts of possession with intent to promote child pornography, for which he received a five-year sentence in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After his release on parole in January 2021, he was transferred to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody and later released to reside in Fort Worth.<\/p>\n
DPS records indicate he also has past charges for carrying a concealed weapon and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill.<\/p>\n
