The lawsuit alleges that PBC ignored repeated directives from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. This resulted in a chemical fire that occurred on July 23, 2024. State officials claim the blaze triggered pollutants, which included benzene and other toxic compounds, to persist in the environment and pose ongoing risks to nearby neighborhoods. “I will not allow any company to threaten the health of Texas communities and fail to take responsible measures to fully address the harm it has caused,” said Paxton. “My office is taking action to protect Texans, help the affected community, and ensure the cost of this damage does not fall on taxpayers.”Paxton expects PBC and its affiliates to restore the site and surrounding properties, prevent further issues and comply with Texas law. Paxton is also seeking to recover cleanup costs and damages.BULVERDE, Texas - Hill College Prep High School has been put on lockdown.Principal Julie Wiley said in the alert that local law enforcement is on campus.
