This is not the same picture. The most likely thing that happened- they got called out for this and immediately added the (Hispanic) tag in the wanted posters. This image absolutely may be doctored, and the wayback machine does have the (Hispanic) tags as far back as the page has been archived.

The picture circulating does accurately reflect the reality of how the statistics are counted. Every one of these is officially counted as "White", even with the Hispanic tag.

In the Texas DPS official stats for "Arrest Data By Race" (page 75 of this document- it's ), there is no Hispanic tag, everything is rolled up into "White". There is a second page of "Hispanic" and "Not Hispanic" arrests, but this is clearly a way to hide how little white people commit certain crimes compared to other ethnicities. https://www.dps.texas.gov/sites/default/files/documents/crimereports/18/citch9.pdf

The total numbers on the tables of the last two pages should add up, and they don't, which is odd- most are close and a couple are exact. But looking at the "Arrest Data By Race" population counts there are some extreme discrepancies: for example, there are 2,996 Robbery arrests assigned to "White" people with nearly 3,000 for Black/Indian/Asian/Hawaiian combined, and on the next page (Labeled "Arrest Data By Ethnicity) there are 3,907 "Not Hispanic" arrests for robbery by ethnicity with 1,985 "Hispanic" arrests. This means that around 2/3 of arrests for robbery classified as "White" were actually Hispanic.

How the table SHOULD read for Robbery Arrests:

1,011 White 1,985 Hispanic 2,846 Black 84 Other

With Not Hispanic "White" people accounting for around 1/6 (just under 17%) of Robbery Arrests, despite being 2/5 ((40%) of the state's population.

How the table DOES read for Robbery Arrests:

2,996 White 2,846 Black 4 Am. Ind. /Alas. Nat 25 Asian 55 Hawaiian/ Pac. Isle

And "White" people account for 1/2 of Robbery Arrests.

Looking at "Sex Offenses (Except Rape), nearly 80% of them are committed by "White" people, but in the next page, it shows that half of those are actually "Hispanic". This fits, as 40% of the population is "White" and they account for 40% of the Sex Offenses are perpetrated by "White" people.

If there was not an attempt to lie- there would be tables with all of these included. On another table in another document for the "Hate Crimes", "Hispanic" is not even listed as a possible perpetrator, with everything rolled up into "White". You can peruse at your leisure here: https://www.dps.texas.gov/section/crime-records/crime-texas

Also in the current top-10 list, Zaed Fawaz Rashid is still a "White Male". Because "Middle-Eastern" is not recorded.
