NEEDVILLE, TEXAS (AP) -- The Fort Bend County Sheriff's Office has issued an Amber Alert for a 6-week-old boy whose mother took him Monday.

Authorities said 30-year-old Sonia Diane Quintanilla is a known drug user.

The Sheriff's Office says Quintanilla left Needville to take the baby -- Elijah Ray Farris -- to the doctor.

She was driving in a blue 1989 4-door Chevrolet Cavalier with license plate Z84-CFV.

Family members say the woman, who's previously disappeared for short periods of time, didn't have food, diapers or clothing with her.

Needville is 37 miles southwest of Houston.
