Enriquez was wanted by the San Marcos Police Department in connection with a road rage incident in June and a standoff Tuesday, which ended in his escape.

San Marcos police developed information that Enriquez had the court hearing at the Nueces County Courthouse and coordinated with a member of the U.S. Marshals Service Task Force, who contacted the Nueces County Sheriff's Office and took him into custody inside the courthouse.
