In hurricane-impacted areas, the Texas Department of Public Safety is encouraging persons concerned about the whereabouts of missing loved ones to file a missing persons’ report with the appropriate local police department or sheriff’s office.  If you are not sure where to file the report, contact the DPS Missing Persons Clearinghouse at 1-800-346-3243 or email mpch@dps.texas.gov, and they will assist you in identifying the correct local agency.

DPS is also available to provide investigative and analytical assistance to local agencies in missing persons cases when requested.
