Texas DPS issues AMBER Alert for 11-month-old Sebastian Jones in Houston

Texas DPS issued an AMBER Alert for 11-month-old Sebastian Jones after he was last seen in the 5200 block of FM 1960 West in Houston. Authorities believe he may be with his mother, 25-year-old Alena Thornton.

A Houston-based social media post said Sebastian was last seen at 4:44 p.m. on July 17 in the same northeast Harris County corridor, placing the search near a busy stretch of FM 1960 West. The alert has drawn attention across Texas as officials try to account for the infant and determine his location.

The Harris County Sheriff's Office Missing Persons Unit is asking anyone with information to call 713-274-9270. Residents who spot Sebastian Jones or Alena Thornton should contact investigators immediately with the location, direction of travel, and any vehicle details if available.

Separate posts from Quantumhaven and Tribute Phrases also described the case as an AMBER Alert involving an 11-month-old child in Harris County, underscoring how quickly the search spread across social media. Texas DPS keeps a public alert archive that includes past AMBER Alerts later marked FOUND, a reminder that these cases can move fast and sometimes end in recovery.

Sebastian Jones was identified as the child at the center of the alert, and Alena Thornton was named as the adult authorities believe he may be with. The case centers on a narrow window in Houston and a specific stretch of FM 1960 West, where officials are now relying on public eyes and immediate reporting to help locate them.
