Lopez escaped in Leon County, a rural area in between"We have no reason to believe he has left the area," the Leon County Sheriff's Office said Saturday."There is no evidence to support that, at this time."

Lopez is serving a life sentence for kidnapping a man and killing him with a pickax in Hidalgo County near the U.S.-Mexico border in 2006, as well as attempted murder for shooting a police officer in Webb County a couple of years earlier, according to Fox 4 Dallas. He overpowered and stabbed the driver before the transport bus crashed on Thursday, authorities said. The driver, a corrections officer, sustained non-life-threatening injuries.

The Leon County Sheriff's Office, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Department of Public Safety, and other agencies were involved in the search on Sunday.

The Texas law went into effect on Wednesday when the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals granted the state's request for a stay of a district judge's injunction blocking the law. The law forbids social media companies with more than 50 million active users per month from banning members based on their political views and requires them to publicly disclose how they moderate content.
