At about 2:05 p.m., the Montgomery County Dispatch Center received a call about a man jumping off a pontoon boat to swim south of the bridge on FM 1097 near the Bentwater Subdivision.
The witness told investigators the man, identified as 55-year-old Jesus Cabrera, struggled in the water as the boat drifted further away.
Officials said Cabrera's family jumped in the water and pulled him back onto the boat.
