Multiple sources, including AP and BBC, report that Eduardo Bolsonaro has lived in Texas since early 2025, was convicted in absentia in June 2026, and has avoided arrest in Brazil by remaining there.
This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.

Louder with Crowder · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Supports. AP reports Eduardo Bolsonaro moved to Texas in 2025 and is 'now living in Texas', after being convicted in absentia in June and sentenced to four years in prison, with an arrest warrant issued.[1]
Supports. BBC reports Eduardo 'has been living in Texas since 2025' and has been 'camping out in the state of Texas to avoid arrest back home'.[2]
Supports. PBS reports Eduardo, who lives in Texas, was convicted in absentia in June of illegally lobbying the Trump administration, and a warrant was recently issued for his arrest.[3]
Context. Sources published after the 2026-10-05 posting date describe continuous residence in Texas since 2025, so the state of affairs on the posting date is consistent with the reporting. The claim's phrasing 'close to you' comes from the post's own aside and is not checked separately.[1][2]
