A white powdery substance was found inside a letter Thursday afternoon at the Texas Department of Transportation Office in Bryan.

The Director of TxDOT's Bryan District, Bob Appleton, received the questionable letter, according to TxDOT spokesperson, Bob Colwell.

No injuries were reported. The Bryan Police Department, Fire and a HAZMAT crew were called to the scene.

The building was evacuated until about 6p.m.

Bryan Fire Chief MIke Donoho told News 3 the letter was deemed "non-hazardous" and was handed over to the FBI. He said the letter was sent without a return address.

The southbound lanes of Texas Avenue in Bryan were closed down for a few hours. Traffic was rerouted to the turn lane and urged to proceed with caution.
