Some species travel for miles in search of food or a mate.
Some get taken from the wild by kids. Then released or escape later after they're not interesting anymore

Yeah, he's not quite the norm for a Texas tortoise or a desert tortoise, so maybe he's an intergrade. At any rate, I'm thinkin' he's an escaped pet.
Personally I think he looks more round like a berlandiers but also with the pyramiding like he is not a wild tortoise but was a captive. I think you made a mistake and released a captive pet tortoise and supposedly that is a very bad thing to do. You should have waited for the game/wildlife person for verification.
