State Rep. Sylvester Turner, D-Houston, told the Houston Chronicle on Friday that the offenders "are leaving - no ifs, ands or buts about it."

State Sen. John Whitmire, D-Houston, says the convicts had been moved from the halfway house to free beds needed for low-risk offenders. Neighbors learned of the men's presence when they received notifications from the state sex-offender registry.
