No charges filed in relation to 'credible threats' against state lawmakers in Austin, DPS says
AUSTIN, Texas (KTRK) — DPS is now confirming that no charges have been pressed against a suspect, who DPS believes made credible threats against Texas lawmakers. That credible threat came just hours after the assassinations and attempted assassinations of Minnesota lawmakers.
DPS said their investigation was sparked by a citizen that called local law enforcement, reporting a man was on his way to a protest at the state capitol and planned to harm lawmakers. That tip led to the grounds of the state capital being evacuated around 1 p.m. as protestors and lawmakers continued with their No Kings protests in Austin.
DPS said the threat against lawmakers was deemed credible, and the investigation led to a traffic stop on SH-71 around 1:30 p.m. in La Grange. La Grange is about halfway between Houston and Austin.
DPS said they pulled the suspect over for speeding. DPS said after pulling over, the driver informed law enforcement they had a handgun, which was seized, and the driver was arrested for a misdemeanor traffic violation, and they were taken in for questioning.
The suspect’s name has not been released, and no charges have been pressed in relation to the threats. It’s unclear if the suspect is still in custody.
At this point, DPS has not said what the threats were, why they were made, how they were made, or why they were found to be credible.

Five people were killed when a small private plane crashed and caught fire near Austin, Texas, according to state and local officials. A pickleball club identified the victims as members who were traveling to a tournament.
The crash happened at about 11:05 p.m. on Thursday in the Wimberley area, about 40 miles southwest of Austin, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety and Hays County officials. The FAA said the aircraft was a Cessna 421C.
Sgt. Billy Ray with the Texas Department of Public Safety said all five people on board were killed, including one pilot and four passengers. He also confirmed that the plane caught fire after the crash.
The Amarillo Pickleball Club identified the victims as Seren Wilson, Brooke Skypala, Stacy Hedrick, Glen Appling and Hayden Dillard. The club said they were members of its “Amarillo pickleball family” and were traveling to a pickleball tournament when the crash happened.
“Today, the Club has received terrible news that we all must mourn in the loss of five members of our Amarillo pickleball family,” the club said in a statement. “Please keep their precious families in your thoughts and prayers.”
Fire and EMS personnel remained at the crash site through the early morning hours, according to Hays County Judge Ruben Becerra. Preliminary information indicated the aircraft was traveling at a high rate of speed at the time of impact.
Becerra said there was no indication of a mid-air collision. A second aircraft that was flying nearby landed safely in New Braunfels, a city northeast of San Antonio.
