"Last seen"..."leaving the Anderson County
Sheriff's Office". The Sheriff's Office and the
Anderson County Jail show the same address;
Anderson County Texas Jail
So, was he there to make a report (about a
crime?), reporting in (say for bail conditions?),
or was he being released from the Jail?

From the article posted by NanZDrew:

Following a Jan. 12 arrest by the Palestine Police Department, bond was posted for Staneart on the evening of Jan. 20, reportedly over the phone with 1st Stop Bail Bonds of Palestine. When the individual who posted the bond arrived to retrieve Staneart, he was nowhere to be found.

Thanks EllaMinnowP, so according to the media
report in post #3, bail was posted on the "evening
of 20th"... but he was let out of jail (obviously)
and was "Last seen on January 20, leaving the
Anderson County Sheriff’s Office just after
4:30 p.m.". Have the journalists at The Henderson
News reported this correctly, or do they use a
different definition for 'evening' other than that
commonly used, i.e. evening=occurring after 6 P.M. ?

The link in post #4 was malformed, I had a Mod
fix it. Think I'll ask a moderator to remove the
confusingly irrelevant media link in post #1.

Why would he leave his phone and wallet at the jail? It worries me about the potential for self-harm. MOO
I hope they find him soon, and that he’s just fine.

The bond was $32,000. Not a small amount. Reckless driver report leads to drug arrest in Palestine Didn't see anything else for him in court records for that county but in Rusk County he has a drug possession arrest on the books from 2019 (his info is on page 7) https://newtools.cira.state.tx.us/upload/page/2796/docs/Status Docket 02 10 21.pdf. There could be others, I've only looked at 2 counties. But with prior drug arrest, added to driving on a suspensded license, his skipping out on bond wouldn't surprise me personally, but I don't know why he wouldn't take his wallet? (phone yes, as that might be a way to track you). https://newtools.cira.state.tx.us/upload/page/2796/docs/Status Docket 02 10 21.pdf

Last week there was significant rainfall for several days and many creeks and rivers were out of their banks. The rain started after he went missing so it is possible that he was originally on land and his body was swept into the flooded creek.
