Four young boys were jumping off an old boat when a 13-year-old jumped into the water and never surfaced, Rivera said.
Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and the sheriff’s office launched a search effort for the boy.
Sonar technology was used in the search, along with Deputy Constable Mark Lemmons as a driver, Rivera said.
State divers eventually recovered the boy’s body on Monday, Rivera said.
“Our sincere condolences to the family,” he said in a Facebook post.
