The package bomb exploded Sunday night and appeared to have been set off by a tripwire mechanism, they said.
It is more than possible that the explosion is linked to the prior ones that took place in Austin, as the package was believed to be headed toward that city, which has witnessed four bombings this month, the officials added.
According to local and state officials, hundreds of law enforcement officials, more than 350 FBI agents, troopers from Texas Department of Public Safety and bomb technicians from Houston and San Antonio were working on the case.
Two people have been killed and four others injured in the package bomb explosion which took place last month.
"We are clearly dealing with what we expect to be a serial bomber," Austin's interim police chief, Brian Manley told a press conference.
