A 46-year-old man faces felony charges in connection to a child pornography case, the Parker County Sheriff's Office said Monday.
Walker Watt Lawrence, 46, was arrested July 21 on six third-degree felony charges of possession of child pornography, officials said.
According to Sheriff Russ Authier, a Crime Stoppers tip identified Lawrence as a man suspected of obtaining images of child pornography on his iPhone and iPad.

The sheriff's office said investigators then obtained a search warrant for Lawrence's iCloud account, where authorities say they located about 1,000 photos of child pornography.
The images depicted children between the ages of 6 and 12, authorities said.
Authier said investigators worked for several months to gather evidence before Lawrence's arrest due to the large amount of images.
