The man listed as number one on the Top 10 Texas Most Wanted Sex Offenders turned himself in at the Montague County Sheriff’s Office Friday.
Sheriff Paul Cunningham said Randy Jay Hofstetter, 28, turned himself in about 11 a.m. July 18. It appears the action came at the urging of Hofstetter’s grandmother who resides in Montague and came to the sheriff’s office with her grandson.
Hofstetter, who hails from Fort Worth, was wanted for warrants for failure to register as a sex offender, parole violation for an original offense of delivery of meth; probation violation for original offense, aggravated sexual assault of a child. The Department of Public Safety Top 10 webpage listed the subject as “armed and dangerous.”
Hofstetter was added to the Texas Top 10 on July 8 and his arrest included a reward of up to $5,000 for specific information resulting in his arrest. The site states that Hofstetter was convicted on three counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child for incidents in Hopkins County involving an eight-year-old girl. He received 10 years probation and had to register quarterly for life as a sex offender. The warrants were issued in mid-January.

Brew up a ‘cuppa’ tea with items from your yard
A few years ago, if someone had suggested that I would be brewing tea from orange peels, fig leaves, and the assortment of wild plants flourishing in my yard, I would have giggled in disbelief. My perception of tea was limited to the neatly packaged bags sold at the store, each little bag a promise of convenience.
I still vividly recall a few memorable trips to Great Britain, where I savored the robust flavor of a PG Tips tea bag—moments like that felt exquisitely sophisticated to me! The British, with their ritual approach and passion for creating the perfect cuppa, truly have mastered the art of tea.
