This is reportedly the 10th day of the 17-year-old missing, last seen at a River Oaks gas station near Westheimer and Willowick.

The 5-foot, 4-inch teen is described as weighing approximately 165 pounds, with “light facial acne.”

His parents said they last saw him wearing a “green and white fishing shirt, gray gym shorts and white tennis shoes,” calling in Texas Equusearch to help bring him home.

This morning, organization officials reportedly met at East Briar Hollow Lane to brief the media before setting off on a search, welcoming volunteers to help with their efforts, which they said may cover “treacherous terrain.”
