A 12-year-old North Texas boy and his mother were found on Tuesday after Crandall police issued an Amber Alert on Saturday.

Police found them Tuesday in the Preston Hollow area of Dallas.

Police told WFAA-TV that they made a stop at the family’s home in Kaufman County after receiving a tip from an AT&T employee on Oct. 30 advising that the mother had sent concerning text messages regarding her mental health. Police requested the Amber Alert after finding no one at the home.

It is unclear if the mother will face any charges.
