Christopher Dale Dyer
SILSBEE — A 32-year-old Silsbee man remains listed on the Texas Department of Public Safety’s public sex offender registry following an Oct. 26 update to his record, which documents three offenses involving minors and a lifetime registration requirement. Christopher Dale Dyer, born May 24, 1994, is listed at 2006 Alexander Road, Trailer 4, in Silsbee, according to information reported to DPS by the Hardin County Sheriff’s Office in Kountze. The state lists Dyer as a level two, or moderate-risk, registrant who must verify his registration information annually. His projected registration end date is listed as lifetime. The registry records a change of status Oct. 26, 2026, with the Hardin County Sheriff’s Office identified as the reporting agency. The listing does not specify what prompted the change. It also shows a verification with the sheriff’s office May 11, 2026, and a registration entry with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice in Huntsville dated Nov. 26, 2024. The public record includes three offenses, each with an incarceration disposition. The first is indecency with a child by exposure under Section 21.11(a)(2) of the Texas Penal Code. The record lists an Oct. 9, 2014, disposition date and identifies the victim as a 13-year-old girl. The second is sexual assault of a child under Section 22.011(a)(2), with a disposition date of April 1, 2019. The registry identifies the victim as a 16-year-old girl. The third is possession of child pornography under Section 43.26(a), with a disposition date of April 4, 2019. The record also identifies a 16-year-old female victim in connection with that offense. The registry does not provide prison sentence lengths, release details or further explanations of the underlying incidents in the information reviewed. The offenses are historical; the Oct. 26 administrative entry should not be interpreted as evidence of a new charge or conviction. DPS classifies moderate risk as its second of three standard risk categories. The designation is determined through a state screening process and indicates a moderate assessed risk of future criminal sexual conduct. It is not a finding that a new offense has occurred. Department of Public Safety Under the Texas Sex Offender Registration Program, registrants must periodically confirm their information with law enforcement and report certain changes, including residence changes, as required by state law. DPS lists Dyer as male, 5 feet, 11 inches tall, weighing 165 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. A photograph in the state database is dated May 11, 2026. State officials caution that registry searches using names, birth dates or similar identifiers do not conclusively establish identity. Fingerprint verification is required to positively connect a person to a criminal history record. Texas law makes most registration details available to the public, but certain information, including details that could identify victims, remains confidential. The registry is intended to support public awareness and accountability throughout Texas. Residents can review public registration information and reported updates through the DPS sex offender registry. The database reflects information submitted by law enforcement agencies and may change as those agencies update their records.
