According to Coleman County Sheriff, Les Cogdill, the call came in to dispatch at 6:10 am this morning.  The location is either northern Coleman County or southern Callahan County.  Searchers were still looking as of 8:00 am.

We don’t have confirmation as of yet where the plane took off from or where it was going. It is, however, said to be a small plane.
