Authorities say Robles managed to walk away from the trusty camp, a lower-security housing location outside the main prison facility. He was serving a 20-year sentence for aggravated robbery, robbery, and burglary of a habitation out of Bexar County, along with a subsequent 180-day sentence for possession of a controlled substance from Nueces County in 2022.

Following an intensive search, authorities were able to locate and capture Robles approximately three miles away from the unit. TDCJ says Robles was shot in the arm by TDCJ Captain after refusing to stop.
