According to information published on the Texas Department of Public Safety Sex Offender Registry, Henry Thomas Cole, 59, is listed as a registered sex offender residing in Lumberton, Texas. Registry records identify Cole as a white male born Sept. 14, 1965. He is listed as 5 feet 11 inches tall, weighs approximately 240 pounds, has black hair and hazel eyes. The registry assigns him a low risk level and indicates he is subject to lifetime registration requirements with annual verification. Cole’s reported address is on Poppy Drive in Lumberton, located in Hardin County. The Texas Department of Public Safety states that registration information is maintained as reported by the law enforcement agency serving as the offender’s most recent registration authority. According to registry records, Cole was convicted of taking indecent liberties with children involving contact or fondling. The offense falls under North Carolina General Statutes Section 14-202.1(a)(1). Registry information indicates the victim was a 14-year-old female. The disposition date associated with the conviction is listed as May 10, 2012. Registry records show the judgment resulted in a sentence recorded as one year and four months, with a notation indicating discharge from custody. Texas registry information shows Cole initially registered with the Beaumont Police Department on Jan. 28, 2021. His most recent annual verification on record was completed Sept. 8, 2021, through the Lumberton Police Department. The Texas Department of Public Safety requires certain convicted sex offenders to register and periodically verify their information. The frequency of verification is determined by state law and can vary depending on the offense and the offender’s classification. In Cole’s case, the registry indicates annual verification is required. The department notes that information contained within the registry is provided by local law enforcement agencies responsible for administering registrations. DPS also cautions that searches conducted using names, birth dates and other identifying information may not always produce definitive matches and that fingerprint verification is the only method that can positively link an individual to a criminal record. State officials further note that registry information remains publicly available until an offender’s legal duty to register expires or other relief authorized by law is granted. Because Cole’s registration requirement is listed as lifetime, his information is expected to remain on the registry unless modified through legal action or statutory provisions. The Texas Sex Offender Registry serves as a public information resource intended to assist residents in obtaining information about registered offenders living in their communities. Law enforcement agencies are responsible for updating and maintaining offender records, including address changes, verification requirements and other registration-related information.
