Cesar Cuellar Jr
The Texas Department of Public Safety sex offender registry lists Cesar Cuellar, 63, as a resident of Thicket in Hardin County who is required to register for life. According to the registry, Cuellar was convicted of aggravated sexual assault of a child under Section 22.021(a)(1)(B) of the Texas Penal Code. The listed victim was a 13-year-old girl. The disposition date in the case was April 24, 1995. The registry states that Cuellar was discharged from probation or community supervision. Cuellar is listed under State Identification Number 05145477. The registry also identifies him as Cesar Cuellar Jr. His primary date of birth is Nov. 2, 1962. DPS records list Cuellar as living at 4662 Barney Castle Road in Thicket. His most recent verification was completed Nov. 5, 2025, through the Hardin County Sheriff’s Office in Kountze. The record also shows an earlier registration event with the Baytown Police Department on Nov. 18, 1997. The registry does not report a risk level for Cuellar. His registration requirement is projected to continue for life, and he must verify his registration annually. The physical description provided by DPS lists Cuellar as a 5-foot-6-inch man weighing approximately 190 pounds. He has black hair and brown eyes. His listed shoe size is 8½ with a D width. The primary photograph shown in the registry was reported Nov. 5, 2025. Texas law requires certain people convicted of qualifying sexual offenses to register with local law enforcement and regularly verify their identifying and residential information. Registry requirements vary depending on the offense, court disposition and applicable law. A lifetime designation means the person remains subject to registration unless the obligation expires or relief is granted under state law. DPS advises the public that information displayed in the registry is supplied by the law enforcement agency that served as the registrant’s most recent Texas registration authority. The agency also cautions that registry searches based only on names, birth dates or other identifying information may not always connect a record to the person being researched. Fingerprint verification is the only way to positively link an individual to a criminal record, according to DPS. Registry information generally remains publicly available until the duty to register ends or the registrant receives relief authorized by law. Members of the public seeking current registration information may consult the DPS registry or contact the Hardin County Sheriff’s Office. Address and verification details can change as registrants report updates to their supervising registration authorities. The information reflects the state registry record available for Cuellar and should not be interpreted as an allegation of a new offense. The reported conviction dates to 1995, while the November 2025 entry documents his annual compliance verification with Hardin County authorities.
