TEXAS CITY — Authorities are actively searching for an escaped inmate who fled the Texas City Jail facility on the evening of May 22, 2025, around 8:17 p.m.

According to a Texas City Facebook Post, the inmate—Gregory Gray—was assisted by a relative who drove him to the south side of the Dickinson Bayou Bridge, where Gray was reportedly dropped off on foot.

Police say Gray has since changed into a red hoodie and pants, and a heavy law enforcement presence remains in the area as the search intensifies.

Authorities are urging the public not to approach Gray if spotted, as he is considered dangerous. Instead, anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to contact the Texas City Police Department at (409) 643-5720 or submit tips anonymously through Mainland Community Crime Stoppers at (409) 845-8477.
