37 Tex. Admin. Code § 1.101 - Response to Bomb Threats

(a) The primary responsibility for police action designed to search for a reported bomb at any location, other than premises occupied by the Department of Public Safety, lies with the principal local law enforcement agency in whose jurisdiction the reported bomb threat is located. We will assist these agencies as requested and within the limits of our capabilities.

(b) The department will not train and equip bomb disposal squads. As a matter of policy, we will depend on the explosive ordnance disposal service available from military installations or local law enforcement agencies, to remove a discovered bomb in those instances where we must accept the responsibility for its removal.

(c) The department will assume primary responsibility for necessary evacuation and search of any premises occupied by the department and in which a bomb has been reported.
