Liberty County sheriff's deputies are searching for an inmate who escaped from their custody Saturday morning after he was taken to a hospital for a medical emergency. 
Around 5:30 a.m., 31-year-old Yorlan Reyes fled from a correctional officer at HCA Houston Healthcare Kingwood's emergency room and left the hospital on foot, according to the Liberty County Sheriff's Office. 
Investigators are now using surveillance footage to find Reyes. 
The county sheriff's office said it is also working with the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office, the Texas Department of Public Safety, and the Texas Rangers to find Reyes. 
Reyes —who was last seen wearing an orange jail jumpsuit and orange Croc-like jail shoes— was jailed in Liberty County on Friday after he was picked up for a warrant charging him with unlawful disclosure or promotion of intimate visual material. 
Law enforcement is urging the public to call 911 if they see Reyes.
