A 14-year-old girl is missing after she was last seen on foot in far west Bexar County on Friday, and investigators say she left home without her cell phone. The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office is now asking the public for help tracking her down.
According to KENS 5, the teen was last seen in the 6200 block of Kimble Mill near Palmetto Way and Rockwall Mill, an area the outlet describes as far west Bexar County. The sheriff’s office has not released additional detail about the circumstances surrounding her disappearance, and the station notes investigators say she left without her phone, a detail that may complicate efforts to locate or communicate with her.
The search is part of a broader public-safety workload: Texas logged 2,883 juvenile missing-person entries in Bexar County in 2024, among 31,864 juvenile entries statewide. The Texas Department of Public Safety’s annual county tally counts entries into the FBI’s National Crime Information Center during that year; it is not a snapshot of how many children remained missing at year’s end.
What the Missing Teen Was Last Seen Wearing
The station’s report describes the girl as standing 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighing around 140 pounds, with brown eyes and black hair. At the time she was last seen, she was wearing a gray hoodie over a white shirt, along with black foam runner shoes and a black beanie, per the same account attributing the clothing description to the sheriff’s office.

Within 48 hours, agencies must also send the report to law enforcement agencies within 200 miles. Those requirements are set out in Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Article 63.00905…
