Jaime Temez is 16 years old.

On the night of August 29, 2026, Texas DPS says Jaime was last seen in Bastrop at approximately 9 p.m. Nearly a month later, he remains listed in the Texas Missing Persons Clearinghouse.

His case number is R2608014.

DPS classifies Jaime as a runaway.

That word is part of the official record. It should not become the reason people stop looking at his photograph.

Jaime is still a missing child.

Look at Jaime’s photograph

Texas DPS lists Jaime’s official photograph as updated August 31, just two days after he disappeared. The update date does not establish when the photograph was taken.

Jaime was 16 when he disappeared and remains 16 as of September 24, 2026. DPS describes him as a Hispanic male, approximately 5 feet 10 inches tall and 190 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.

The current DPS bulletin lists no distinguishing characteristics.

When Jaime was last seen, authorities say he was wearing a black sweater, black shorts and tennis shoes.

Those details may help someone recognize him.

What happened on August 29

The public record is brief.

Texas DPS says Jaime was last seen in Bastrop at approximately 9 p.m. on August 29.

The current bulletin does not identify a more specific last-seen location. It does not name a confirmed companion, destination or vehicle.

No medical consideration is publicly stated.

Those absences matter because there is a difference between what people may want to know and what the public record actually establishes.

The Texas Public Record will not fill those gaps with speculation.

What is known is straightforward: Jaime disappeared from Bastrop, and Texas DPS continues to carry his case as missing.

DPS classifies Jaime as a runaway

Texas DPS classifies case R2608014 as Runaway.

That classification should be reported accurately, but it should also be understood in context.

Jaime is 16.

A runaway classification does not transform a missing minor into someone unworthy of public attention. It does not tell the public where Jaime is now, whether he is safe or when he will return.

And it does not answer the question that matters most today:

Where is Jaime?

There is no need to make his case more dramatic than the official record supports. There is also no reason to minimize it.

A 16-year-old is missing.

That is enough.

Someone may have seen him

Unlike cases that have remained unresolved for years or decades, Jaime disappeared only weeks ago.

Memories from August 29 may still be relatively fresh.

Someone may remember seeing him that evening. Someone may have encountered him afterward. Someone may recognize his photograph from somewhere they have been since he disappeared.

Anyone with credible information should provide it to authorities rather than attempting to locate, follow or confront anyone independently.

Even information that seems minor may help investigators establish where Jaime went after he was last seen.

He was 16 then.

He is 16 as of this article’s September 24 publication.
