UPDATE: “I can confirm the FBI Safe Streets Task Force was conducting court authorized activity at a residence in the vicinity of the intersection of Maple St. and S. Mockingbird Lane, in Lockhart, Texas. We have no additional information to share at this time.” -FBI San Antonio Spokesperson, Carmen Portillo.

A "court authorized activity" is when legal action is taken from a United States or local District Attorney court order directing law enforcement carry out further actions. For the Lockhart area that order would come from the US District Attorney in the Western District of Texas.

Portillo could not confirm or deny if there were any arrests made in this matter but stated that public record documents would be issued if further action is taken in the matter. Portillo stated a follow-up press release to the Lockhart Post-Register would be issued if there is any further development in the case, but no time-line was given.

Portillo did want to stress there is no known threat to the local community related to the activity that occurred this morning. The scene was clear at approxmately 12:30-1 pm.

The FBI Safe Streets Task Force (SSTF) is a collaborative effort bringing together federal, state, and local law enforcement to combat violent crime, focusing on criminal gangs, drug trafficking, and violent offenders by pooling resources, expertise, and intelligence for large-scale investigations, arrests, and prosecutions, thereby enhancing community safety through joint operations and specialized support.

Lockhart ISD sent out a secure notice for Lockhart Junior High School and Bluebonnet Elementary at approximately 11:26 am on Wednesday, December 10. Upon investigation, several law enforcement departments, including the FBI, DEA, Texas State Troopers, canine units and various police and sheriff personnel were on scene in the neighborhood of Shelly's Cove in Lockhart. The FBI has been contacted for more information. The investigation is unfolding currently. Please watch for more details in future issue of LPR.

🐾✨ Did You Know?

Cats have many more olfactory receptors than humans — giving them an amazingly powerful sense of smell! 👃🐱

👃 What are olfactory receptors?

They’re tiny “smell detectors” inside the nose!
Think of them like little sensors that catch scent particles and tell the brain:
➡️ “That’s food!”
➡️ “That’s a person I know!”
➡️ “That’s another animal nearby!”

🐱 Why cats are super-smellers:

Because they have so many of these smell detectors, cats can pick up scents we’d never notice. Their sense of smell helps them:
✔️ Find food
✔️ Recognize people
✔️ Understand new environments
✔️ Feel safe and comfortable

Cats are basically little scent detectives! 🔍🐾
