VIDOR, Texas - Authorities say the bodies of two children and one man have been found after an early morning house fire in Texas.

Sgt. Chad Hogan of the Orange County Sheriff's Office says the bodies of the 59-year-old man, 6-year-old and 19-month-old were discovered Friday morning in the burned-out home in Vidor (VY'-dur).

Their identities were not immediately released, and authorities were investigating the fire.

The fire was reported around 2:15 a.m. Friday. Deputies arrived to find the house engulfed in flames, with a neighboring home also partly on fire.

Vidor is 85 miles northeast of Houston.
