SAN MARCOS, Texas — A lecturer at Texas State University is no longer teaching after a Facebook message allegedly sent from an account bearing his name sparked widespread attention online. The university confirmed Thursday that aviation lecturer Bret Bryon is no longer employed at the school but declined to say whether his departure was related to the incident.
According to reporting from the Texas Tribune, plastic surgeon Dr. Dhivya Srinivasa publicly posted screenshots of a message she said she received from a Facebook account with Bryon’s name and photo. The message included profane language and told her he hoped she would be deported.
Srinivasa, founder of the Institute for Advanced Breast Reconstruction, said she had not previously interacted with Bryon and shared the message after confirming the account appeared to belong to a university lecturer. Texas State responded publicly on social media that it was reviewing the matter and would take action if warranted.
University records show Bryon was placed on paid administrative leave Feb. 4 and later accepted a separation agreement on Feb. 17 that lists his departure as a voluntary resignation. Under the agreement, he received about $27,822 before deductions.
Bryon joined Texas State in January 2025 as an aviation lecturer after previously working as a math teacher and department chair in Manor Independent School District.
