Five District Attorneys Sue Ken Paxton to Block New Rule Requiring Them to Hand over Case Records
- Five Texas district attorneys filed lawsuits on Friday to block a new rule requiring them to share case records with Attorney General Ken Paxton's office.
- The rule, effective since April, mandates prosecutors in counties over 400,000 residents to provide extensive confidential documents, which the lawsuits claim violates state and federal law.
- Dallas, Bexar, Harris, Travis, and El Paso counties oppose the rule as an unconstitutional overreach that burdens prosecutorial resources and threatens victim privacy.
- John Creuzot stated the rule violates separation of powers and will divert staff from prosecutions, costing Dallas taxpayers hundreds of thousands; Paxton said it ensures accountability of 'rogue district attorneys.'
- The lawsuits seek injunctions to stop Paxton's enforcement, arguing the rule politicizes prosecution oversight and imposes costly compliance on mainly Democratic-leaning counties.
