(McKinney, Texas) – Collin County District Attorney Greg Willis announced that Robert Bevers, 40, of Frisco, was sentenced to the maximum 20 years in prison for stalking a Collin County woman in 2024. The sentence followed evidence showing that Bevers had also targeted four other women dating back as far as 2016.
The Crime
In 2022, a 27-year-old Frisco woman began finding unsolicited gifts left on her porch by Bevers—a man she had never met. Her family installed surveillance cameras that captured Bevers’s car repeatedly circling the home. The victim obtained a civil protective order, which Bevers appealed. After that order was set aside, he resumed contacting her in 2024—sending messages over social media and email that became increasingly sexual and racist. She reported the conduct to Frisco Police, which opened a felony stalking investigation.
The Investigation and Arrest
Detective Brenna Bearden led the investigation, securing search warrants for cell-phone, social-media, and location data. Records showed Bevers first tried to contact the victim as early as 2016—initially under his own name, later through fake accounts. After an extensive investigation, Detective Bearden obtained an arrest warrant, and U.S. Marshals Task Force agents arrested Bevers on April 29, 2024.
The Trial
Trial began on October 28, 2025. A Collin County jury quickly found Bevers guilty of stalking, a third-degree felony that carries up to 10 years in prison. Because prosecutors alleged a prior-conviction enhancement, the punishment range increased to a maximum of 20 years.
During a two-day punishment hearing before State District Judge Kim Laseter, prosecutors proved that Bevers was a serial stalker who had harassed four other women. The women described eerily similar experiences: two former college classmates, the younger sister of a high-school teammate, and a Dallas criminal defense attorney—none of whom had ever met Bevers. One victim asked for the maximum sentence so the group could finally have “a moment of peace.”
The court also heard that, as a juvenile, Bevers was committed to the Texas Youth Commission and, as an adult, served a five-year prison term for aggravated assault against his grandmother. Judge Laseter sentenced Bevers to the maximum 20 years in prison and imposed a $10,000 fine.
Statement from DA Greg Willis
“Serial stalkers like this destroy their victims’ peace of mind,” said Willis. “My office exists to protect the people of Collin County, and that protection includes making sure those who prey on women face the full weight of the law.”
