HOUSTON - An engineering firm office in Houston was raided by the FBI Wednesday.

The FBI said agents were 'lawfully present' at Dannenbaum Engineering at 3100 West Alabama street around 12:30 p.m. Agents were conducting a 'lawful law enforcement operation.'

The FBI told KPRC2 it doesn't anticipate making any arrests, and that business will operate as normal once agents are finished.

No further details about the operation were released.

Agents are also at the Laredo City Hall Annex, the Laredo Public Works Department and a Webb County office, FBI spokeswoman Michelle Lee told KSAT.com.

"There is no public safety threat," Lee told KSAT. She wouldn't elaborate on what the agents were doing at the offices.

Dannenbaum Engineering has offices in Houston, Dallas, Austin, Laredo, El Paso, Fort Worth, McAllen and San Antonio.

According to the company's website, Dannenbaum was involved in several segments of the Sam Houston Parkway and toll roads in Harris County, land developments in the Clear Lake area, road segments of Bush Intercontinental Airport connectors and the Barbers Cut Terminal container yard.

Wouldn't be surprised if they found evidence of grease money. Exxon was the primary reason Judge Emmitt pushed it through so fast.

Exxon negotiated with the city of Houston to have that section of the parkway completed for the opening of the campus. The city would have owed millions in "late fees" if didn't from what I understand. But good theory that someone along the RoW may have given a few engineers some incentive to manipulate the route.

I'm guessing y'all are speaking about the Grand Parkway or 99 that goes by the Exxon campus in North Houston? Hell I don't even think it's technically IN Houston city limits.
