July 28 (Reuters) - Wells Fargo & Co's (WFC.N) policies around the firearm industry are being probed by the Texas Attorney General's office, the company said in an emailed statement on Thursday. "We have been cooperating with the Texas AG's Office and continue to affirm our standing letter that was provided to that office," the company said. The public finance division, which oversees most municipal bond offerings in Texas, will decide by Aug. 25 whether the bank is a "discriminating company," according to Bloomberg News. The Texas Attorney General's office did not respond to a Reuters request for comment on the report.
