AUSTIN — Several offices at the Texas Capitol were evacuated Tuesday after a suspicious package was sent to a state representative, but law enforcement officials found no “viable” threat.

Rep. Poncho Nevárez, D-Eagle Pass, said the package was addressed to his office. Nevárez was in Eagle Pass on Tuesday afternoon, but he said his chief of staff and another staff member were at the Capitol. Inside the package was a Russian nesting doll “box arrangement” with “odd note cards” and Nevárez’s name “badly misspelled,” he said.

“All I can say is I am glad everyone is safe,” Nevárez said.

The Texas Department of Public Safety said it responded to a suspicious package and letter but did not offer more details on who the items were sent to, or what was suspicious about them.

“DPS has cleared the scene, and no viable threat was discovered, and the area was reopened to the public,” DPS spokesman Tom Vinger said in an emailed statement.

A spokeswoman with the FBI said the agency has been in contact with DPS regarding the suspicious package but added that because there was no threat, the agency “is taking no further action.”

Other offices in the underground extension of the Capitol were briefly evacuated, but the majority of the Capitol remained open to the public.
