A 19-year-old Texas teen is missing after leaving her home in the early hours of Christmas Eve, sparking growing concern and an urgent search in northwest Bexar County.

Camila Mendoza was last seen around 6:58 AM on December 24, 2025, after leaving her residence near San Antonio. Surveillance footage from the area shows Camila inside her vehicle, appearing to search for something, before stepping out and walking away on foot.

What happened next remains unknown.

Left Behind Almost Everything

According to family members, Camila left behind her car, her powered-off cell phone, and most of her personal belongings. Authorities believe she may have taken only her car keys and driver’s license.

The circumstances have raised alarm because, as relatives emphasize, this behavior is completely out of character.

“She would never just disappear like this,” a family member said. “Especially without her phone.”

Last Known Movements

Video footage reviewed by investigators shows Camila exiting her vehicle shortly before 7 AM. She does not appear distressed in the footage, but she does not return to the car.

Family members believe she may have been heading out for her usual morning walk, a routine she was known to keep. However, she never returned home.

There have been no confirmed sightings since.

Description and Clothing

Camila is described as approximately 5 feet 4 inches tall, weighing around 110 pounds.

At the time she was last seen, she was wearing:

A black North Face sweater with baby blue accents, or possibly a baby blue and black hoodie

Baby blue pajama shorts or bottoms

White shoes

Authorities are asking anyone who may have seen someone matching this description in the early morning hours of December 24 to come forward.

Family Says Disappearance Is “Not Like Her”

Relatives say Camila had no known plans to travel, no conflicts, and no reason to leave without contacting anyone.

“She had everything going for her,” a family source said. “There were no warning signs.”

The fact that her phone was left behind and powered off has intensified concern, as Camila was known to stay in regular contact with her family.

Search Efforts Continue

Law enforcement has been canvassing the area where Camila was last seen, reviewing surveillance footage from nearby homes and businesses, and following up on tips from the public.

Authorities stress that the investigation is ongoing and that even small details could prove crucial.

How the Public Can Help

Police urge residents in northwest Bexar County and surrounding areas to:

Review doorbell and security camera footage from early December 24

Report any sightings of a young woman walking alone around that time

Share information that could help establish Camila’s route or destination

Even information that seems minor could help investigators piece together her movements.

A Family Waiting for Answers

As days pass, Camila’s family remains focused on one goal: bringing her home safely.

They are asking the public to keep sharing her story and remain vigilant.

“This isn’t just a missing person case to us,” a relative said. “This is our daughter.”

Authorities continue to stress that the disappearance is suspicious due to the circumstances and are asking for continued public assistance as the search for Camila Mendoza continues.
