A fugitive has been captured some 24 years after he broke out of jail.

Mario Huerta was 26 at the time of his escape from La Tuna Federal Prison in Texas on in November 1993.

He had served six months of his 10 year sentence in Texas for cocaine possession before he managed to make his getaway and cross the border into Mexico.

But Huerta's luck finally ran out after U.S. Marshals received a tip-off and new information that led to his arrest.

Mario Huerta had been on the run since November 26, 1993 and hid out in Mexico until a tip-off led to his capture last week. He was caught and handed over to U.S. authorities

Huerta was deported from Mexico to the San Ysidro Port of Entry near San Diego and taken into U.S. Marshals' custody.

Huerta will be transported to the state of Texas where he will face additional charges for escaping prison on top of the original 10-year sentence. 

'The U.S. Marshals take pride in never giving up on a fugitive investigation, no matter how old,' said Steve Jurman, commander of the San Diego Fugitive Task Force, in a statement. 'I hope that other fugitives take note, and sleep a little lighter tonight.'

Sixteen federal, state and local agencies comprise the San Diego Fugitive Task Force. 

It is part of a network of U.S. Marshals Task Forces across the country, according to the U.S. Marshals.

Mario Huerta was handed over to U.S. authorities at the San Ysidro Port of Entry in Tijuana, Mexico. He will be transported to Texas to serve his sentence and face additional charges
