No further details were provided.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Just today, a credible threat was made to possibly kill members of the Texas Legislature at the Capitol,&#8221; Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said in a post on X. &#8220;Death threats are sadly a part of serving in public life today.&#8221;\u00a0    <\/p>\n<p>Patrick called on the public to remain cautious and to &#8220;heed the warning of the Texas DPS until the threat is no longer active.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The protest at the Texas Capitol was scheduled for 5 p.m., according to the &#8220;No Kings&#8221; website. It was not immediately clear if the event would continue. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While such threats are not often discussed, Patrick said the state handles many each month. He noted that most come from individuals who &#8220;go too far in their emails or calls,&#8221; and that they frequently retract their statements when confronted, insisting they didn&#8217;t intend harm. Still, he stressed that &#8220;all have to be taken seriously.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Patrick highlighted the need to differentiate between acceptable discourse and unlawful threats. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s a difference between free speech complaints, which we welcome, and making death threats,&#8221; Patrick said in his statement. &#8220;The latter can be a crime.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>Minnesota lawmakers targeted<\/h2>\n<p>The bulletin to legislators also mentioned the <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/minnesota\/news\/minnesota-lawmaker-melissa-hortman-killed-john-hoffman-political-shootings\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">targeted attacks<\/a><\/span> against two lawmakers in Minnesota. State Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband were killed, and state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife were wounded in politically-motivated shootings overnight, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said Saturday morning.<\/p>\n<p>A manhunt <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/minnesota\/news\/minnesota-dfl-shootings-melissa-horman-suspect-vance-boelter\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">is underway<\/a><\/span> for the suspect, who remains at large.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Currently, it seems to be an isolated incident. However, we&#8217;re always concerned about copycats and those who this attack might inspire. Your safety is our top priority, and we are taking all necessary precautions to address any potential threats,&#8221; the bulletin said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What happened today in Minnesota was an absolute criminal act and a tragic loss of life,&#8221; Patrick said in his statement. &#8220;Our prayers go out to those in Minnesota.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">More from CBS News<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p>    <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/steven-rosenbaum\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Steven  Rosenbaum<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author__bio\">\n<div class=\"content-author__full-information\">\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">Steven Rosenbaum is a digital producer for CBS Texas.
