Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP13604) and 1 other source
Jose Herrera Avila, a 40-year-old man, was last seen on July 19, 2008, in Gainesville, Texas. On that day, he contacted his family, but after this call, he was never heard from again. The circumstances of his disappearance remain unclear, and very little information has surfaced since then. His case is classified as endangered missing.

Herrera was described as having black hair and brown eyes, standing between 5'6" and 5'7" tall, and weighing around 140 to 165 pounds at the time of his disappearance. He had several distinguishing features, including chickenpox scars on his leg, arm, and left cheek, as well as scars on his right forearm, wrist, and ankle. He may have been wearing a cream-colored shirt, light-colored pants, and black shoes, and he was possibly carrying a card with a cross and stones.

Despite efforts from local authorities, including the Gainesville Police Department, no significant leads have been uncovered. The case remains open, and anyone with information is encouraged to contact the authorities.
