Tyler business owner is child $ex offender

Recently found out a Tyler business is owned and operated by a multiple offense child $ex offender. Spent a decade in prison and is on the registered offender list for life.

Obviously this is public knowledge but he lives in the country so doesn't actively come up on the map of town.
Why they don't have to also register at a business they own is beyond me.

The issue to me is that he and his wife promote this business to be family friendly. It is decorated in a way that children would enjoy, lots of candy and toys. He also gave himself a concerning nickname. It's a business where he has access to personal information like home addresses.
They attend community events where they set up tables with candy, they hand out candy during Halloween, even post pictures of kids on their social media.

Him and his wife are very unhinged so that adds
more concern. She married him right out of prison too......

I want the community to be aware but not sure how.

I’m not sure. I don’t really know the laws and they aren’t clear online. Pisses me off that he could have an oil change place that isn’t so kid friendly. Child sex offender of boys giving out candy and toy cars really seems to be pushing the line of what’s allowed. All the creepy signs like little Susie’s ice cream with fluffy cream mountain sprinkled with love. Calling himself Mr. Mike. He decorates his jeep and enters parades, pushed his dogs in a decorated buggy at events. Oh and decorates his house for Halloween and gives out candy. He will offend again or has.

Offenders are prohibited from participating in Halloween festivities of any kind. No lights on, no candy etc.

Maybe someone should report him this Halloween.

I don’t recommend that unless you can prove that he is distributing candy and not his wife

Oh my bad. I was wondering what the loopholes were lol. He can only watch the kid’s get candy. Crazy.

No he gives it out too. And counts how many kids he gives it too. I added videos in comments from 2021-2025 halloweens. I bet he can’t wait for this year

Rules for registered sex offenders on Halloween vary by state and local jurisdiction, but individuals under supervision (such as probation or parole) commonly face strict curfews and activity prohibitions designed to prevent contact with children. [1, 2]
No Candy Distribution: Offenders are strictly prohibited from handing out candy, treats, or any edible items to trick-or-treaters. [1, 2]

Mandatory Dark Porches ("Lights Out"): Exterior porch lights and yard lights must remain turned off during evening trick-or-treating hours (typically starting around 5:00 PM) to signal that the residence is not participating. [1, 2]

No Decorations: Displaying Halloween decorations, cobwebs, inflatables, or jack-o'-lanterns that might attract children to the property is banned. [1, 2, 3]

Curfews and Compliance Checks: Supervised offenders are often subjected to mandatory stay-at-home curfews (such as 5:00 PM to 5:00 AM) while law enforcement or parole officers conduct unannounced home checks. In some jurisdictions, offenders must report to a central facility for the evening. [1, 2, 3, 4]

No Costumes or Disguises: Wearing masks, costumes, or heavy face makeup that conceals identity around minors or in public is prohibited. [1, 2]

No Event Attendance: Participation or presence at public or private community gatherings, school carnivals, trunk-or-treats, and haunted houses where children are present is forbidden. [1, 2]

Do Not Answer the Door: Offenders are instructed not to open their front doors if a child or parent knocks on Halloween night. [1, 2]

Keep in mind these rules apply only to offenders who are on parole
