At least one of Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas)'s Dallas-area offices was evacuated today, his staff confirmed to CBSNews.com, after two suspicious packages arrived in the mail.

Bomb squad technicians detonated the two devices, local CBS affiliate KTVT reports. An FBI official in Dallas tells CBS News that the Dallas Police Department "disrupted" the package, but there were no explosives, nor was there any threat.

Cornyn's office said the senator's staff has been given the all-clear.
