Additionally, the Texas Department of Public Safety is also reporting zero looting incidents.

State troopers are assisting local law enforcement agencies who are dealing with calls related to the tornado and straight-line winds that moved through the region Thursday evening.

Looting is a felony in the State of Texas and could result in hefty fines and jail time for those convicted.
