Tyson Foods' Texas plants little damaged from Hurricane Rita.

Tyson Foods reported minimal disruptions at its Texas operations arising from Hurricane Rita, confirmed a company release.

The company's two processed-meats plants in Houston, which closed last Thursday in anticipation of the storm, had virtually no damage and are expected to resume operations early this week as workers return to the city.

Tyson poultry processing operations in east Texas also experienced little to no damage.

The company said that it is confident that the limited damage and interruption in business caused by the killer storm will have a minimum impact on its quarterly earnings.
