Governor Abbott Announces $30,000 Reward For Fugitive Trevor McEuen

May 16, 2025 – Governor Greg Abbott announced today that the Office of the Governor’s Public Safety Office is offering a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to the arrest of Trevor McEuen, a fugitive who failed to appear in court while out on bond for a capital murder charge. In response to his disappearance, the Texas Department of Public Safety has added McEuen to its 10 Most Wanted Fugitive List.

McEuen’s case has reignited urgent calls for bail reform across the state. “Trevor McEuen is exactly why Texas must fix its broken and deadly bail system,” said Governor Abbott. “A violent criminal like McEuen charged with capital murder should never be released on our streets.”

Governor Abbott has made bail reform a top priority this legislative session, calling it an emergency item that must be addressed to protect public safety. He has long advocated for stricter bail laws to prevent high-risk offenders from being released prior to trial.

Texans are urged to assist law enforcement by calling the Texas Crime Stoppers hotline or submitting an anonymous tip online. All tips are confidential, and if the information leads to McEuen’s arrest, tipsters may be eligible for the $10,000 reward.

The Governor emphasized that community involvement is key to bringing dangerous fugitives like McEuen to justice. “Working together, we will bring fugitives like Trevor McEuen to justice,” Abbott said. “No Texan should live in fear because of a system that fails to keep violent criminals off our streets.”

Authorities are reminding the public not to attempt to apprehend McEuen themselves. He should be considered armed and dangerous. Anyone with information is urged to act immediately to help ensure the safety of their community.
