Missing Child Awareness — Status Update

Willow Chapman Found, Texas DPS Reports

Updated October 20, 2026: Texas DPS marks Willow Chapman FOUND in its notice dated October 19, 2026, at 4:30 p.m. TPR has withdrawn the active appeal.

By Michael L. Hamilton II · The Texas Public Record

Correction and status update — October 20, 2026: This page previously carried an active missing-child appeal published October 19. DPS’s FOUND status means that appeal is no longer current. TPR has replaced the appeal with this notice, removed the public awareness graphic and stopped promoting Willow as missing. Please do not recirculate the former appeal as current information.
