FBI and IRS agents raided the San Antonio law offices of state Sen. Carlos Uresti on Thursday morning — confiscating documents and other items.

A law enforcement source told the the San Antonio Express-News, which first reported the raid Thursday, that it was connected to Uresti’s involvement with a now-bankrupt fracking sand company that he held a financial stake in.

“Law enforcement agents with IRS and FBI are lawfully present conducting a law enforcement operation," FBI spokeswoman Michelle Lee told the Texas Tribune.  "No further details have been released at this time.”

State Representative Poncho Nevárez for House District 74 and State Senator for District 19 Carlos Uresti were both officially sworn in on Tuesday January 10, 2017 as the Texas Legislature convened for its 85th regular session at the Texas State capitol in Austin, Texas.
