Police served search warrants at the headquarters of the diocese, a storage location and offices of a local church.
Paredes is charged with sexual abuse of a child and accused of molesting at least three other minors. He disappeared from the suburban Dallas church where he served for decades and is believed to have fled to his native Philippines.
"The diocese has been cooperating with the ongoing investigation of these priests," Dallas Bishop Edward Burns told reporters. "To date, the Dallas Police Department has not been given the number of priests' files flagged for sexual abuse," the newspaper quoted police as saying in an affidavit.
