According to Texas records, Dale Lee Jones is also known as Dale Ray Jones. He has offenses recorded under both names.
In 1994, Jones was jailed in Denton, TX for three counts of engaging in organized criminal activity and was also being held for delivery to the Oklahoma Department of Corrections.

Jones also has a criminal record in Oklahoma, including two counts of harboring a fugitive from justice, knowingly concealing stolen property, driving under the influence, and three counts of selling cocaine.
