Cut and Shoot is no city. It was a village, now part of Houston suburbia east of Conroe.
Around Houston, there are 10 million people looking just like this guy, illegal aliens. Seriously.

Here's Wiki on the place name:
According to one local legend, Cut and Shoot was named after a 1912 community confrontation that almost led to violence. According to differing versions of the story, the dispute was over:[6]
The design of a new steeple for the town's only church,
The issue of who should be allowed to preach there,
The conflicting land claims among church members.
Whatever the circumstances were, a small boy at the scene reportedly said he was scared and declared, "I'm going to cut around the corner and shoot through the bushes in a minute!" This statement apparently stayed in the residents' minds and was eventually adopted as the town's name.[7] "Cut and Shoot" has frequently been noted on lists of unusual place names.[8][9]

"Cut and Shoot, Texas" That's almost as good as "Knockemstiff, Ohio". :)

Not a place you want to be found after dark. Or even in daylight.

I assumed this creep would be in Mexico now. If this was California I am sure he would be released with no bail. In Texas, probably not.
