TEXAS CITY — A lockdown at Texas City High School was lifted Friday afternoon after police investigated a reported threat, according to Texas City ISD.

The district said in an update at 3:17 p.m. that dismissal had begun and that all students and staff were safe.

The school was first placed on lockdown at 2:33 p.m., when TCISD said officers were checking the facility and secured all students and staff inside.

At 2:54 p.m., officials said they did not believe the threat was credible but continued a full sweep of the building with multiple law enforcement agencies “out of an abundance of caution.”

By 2:58 p.m., TCISD reported that officers were stationed at all doors and rooms were being cleared as part of standard lockdown procedures.

The district has thanked parents and the community for their patience and support.
