A 15-year-old boy has gone missing for the second time this year, and the Bexar County Sheriff's Office is asking the public for help finding him. Robert Duron was last seen around 5:30 p.m. on October 13, wearing black sweatpants, a black t-shirt reading “I Love Spiders,” and black Crocs.
According to KSAT, deputies describe Duron as 5 feet 6 inches tall and about 125 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. The sheriff's office is asking anyone with information to call 210-335-6000 or email [email protected].
This is not the first time Duron has disappeared. In April, he was reported missing alongside a 13-year-old boy from a residence in the 7500 block of Lincoln Village Drive near Converse, and doorbell camera footage from that incident captured the pair leaving on foot with backpacks after midnight, according to the San Antonio Express-News. Both teens were safely located and returned home.
A Pattern Playing Out Across Bexar County
Duron's case comes amid other juvenile disappearances, including that of 16-year-old Ava Sophia Hernandez. Hoodline has also mentioned Azuri Roberts. Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar has said his department receives between three and 10 missing-person reports every day, and teenagers account for roughly 70 percent of them. Statewide, Texas agencies logged 40,309 missing-person reports in 2025, with children under 18 making up more than 70 percent of all filings, per the Texas Center for the Missing.
To handle that volume, Bexar County commissioners approved $370,000 in fiscal year 2026 funding to create a dedicated Missing Persons Unit within the sheriff's office, adding an investigator and administrative clerk, the San Antonio Report reported. Before the unit existed, a single detective had been managing a backlog of roughly 600 open missing-person files on top of violent crime duties.
Why No Emergency Alert Went Out
Cases like Duron's don't trigger a statewide AMBER Alert, which is for confirmed abductions involving imminent danger. Missing teens may instead be publicized through bulletins and social media.
State law does set firm timelines for how fast investigators must move. Under Article 63.00905 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, agencies receiving a missing-child report must immediately begin investigating and enter the child's identifying information into national databases within two hours, according to FindLaw. Anyone who knowingly shelters or conceals a missing minor also faces criminal exposure: Texas classifies harboring a runaway child as a Class A misdemeanor, punishable by up to a year in jail and a $4,000 fine.
For now, Duron remains missing, and deputies are renewing the same appeal they made in April: anyone with information on his whereabouts is urged to contact the Bexar County Sheriff's Office.
