Unclassified ARIN
Summary
Friedkin Companies, Inc.
enterprise legacy
FRIEDKIN is the corporate AS of The Friedkin Companies, Inc., the privately-held Houston conglomerate registered at 1375 Enclave Parkway. Its best-known business is Gulf States Toyota, the exclusive Toyota distributor for a group of southern US states; the wider group also spans hospitality, entertainment and automotive services.
What it's used for
A single enterprise's own network. RIS observes 3 IPv4 prefixes totalling 768 addresses — 205.196.2.0/24, 205.196.3.0/24 and 205.196.182.0/24 — and no IPv6. Two observed BGP neighbours is the classic dual-upstream enterprise pattern: enough for redundancy, nowhere near enough to be carrying anyone else's traffic.
Three /24s is a corporate edge, not a service platform. There are no tenants here.
Notable
The registrant split is the detail worth reading, and it resolves cleanly. Two of the three prefixes are registered to FRIEDKIN-COMPANIES — the holder's own ARIN object. The third, 205.196.182.0/24, is registered to PS Lightwave, a metropolitan fibre provider based at 5959 Corporate Drive in Houston.
A prefix registered to a party other than the announcing AS is the same surface pattern as an IP-leasing operation, so it is worth saying plainly why this is not that. PS Lightwave is Friedkin's local fibre carrier, both companies sit in Houston, and the block is a single /24 — this is provider-assigned space: the customer gets a /24 out of the carrier's allocation, announces it from its own ASN so it can multihome, and the registration stays with the carrier. The leasing shape needs many scattered blocks registered to unrelated and unfindable parties. One /24 from the fibre company down the road is the opposite: two real, locatable businesses in the same city with an obvious commercial relationship.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 455 networks and 1,854 prefixes, as published 2026-11-09. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
