Smoke continues to billow from an ongoing criminal investigation into state Rep. Ismael "Kino" Flores, but prosecutors remain mum about the possibility of fire.

The Travis County district attorney's office has widened its probe to include the legislator's land dealings, including the purchase of a six-acre ranch north of Alton, Flores' attorney Roy Q. Minton said Thursday.

Minton previously stated that trips the lawmaker took on a campaign contributor's private plane had drawn the scrutiny of Austin prosecutors.
