HOUSTON \u2013 FBI Houston says it is investigating several threats made against Houston-area schools this year.<\/p>\n
During the 2025-26 school year, FBI Houston received 42 tips related to school threats.<\/p>\n
So far this school year, 2026-27, FBI Houston has investigated three school threats. Two resulted in arrests, including the recent arrests of three teenagers charged with third-degree state felony offenses of terroristic threat for allegedly planning a mass shooting at a high school in the Pasadena Independent School District.<\/p>\n
FBI Houston\u2019s Threat Mitigation Team said it worked quickly to investigate the threat and coordinated with local law enforcement partners to prevent the attack.<\/p>\n
Law enforcement officials said they will use all available resources to investigate a school threat until they determine whether it is credible.<\/p>\n
\u201cInvestigating hoax threats drains law enforcement resources and diverts us from responding to an actual crisis. Hoax threats can shut down school campuses, cause undue stress and fear amongst the public, and cost taxpayers a lot of money; not to mention ruin the future of those making the hoax threats as they\u2019ll now have a criminal record,\u201d FBI Houston stated in a release.<\/p>\n
