Liberty County Sheriff's Captain Rex Evans says there is no indication of bodies being anywhere on the rural property about 110km northeast of Houston.
Officials say the sheriff's office had received two calls from a person who said dismembered bodies would be found.
Evans says authorities took the tip seriously in part because the caller had details about the interior of the house that only someone who had seen it could have known.
He says authorities now have a name and number for the caller and are working to track them down.
