Bexar County District Attorney Joe Gonzales is getting ready for a potential legal battle against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.
– The proposal requires district and county attorneys in counties with populations over 250,000 to provide additional reporting to the AG’s office. That additional reporting would be for cases in which a person arrested for a violent offense is not indicted. It also includes cases in which a poll watcher or peace officer is indicted.
Gonzales has called the proposal “burdensome, unnecessary and potentially very costly to our citizens.” The Bexar County Commissioner’s Court met in executive session and then voted on the hiring of the law firm on Tuesday for a “potential challenge to an administrative rule proposed by the Texas Attorney General.”
