AUSTIN, Texas — The legal battle over public records in the Uvalde school shooting continues.
A court in Travis County has ruled Uvalde District Attorney Christina Mitchell cannot intervene in the lawsuit filed by news organizations, including KHOU 11 and our sister TEGNA stations in Texas, against the Texas Department of Public Safety to obtain public records in the Uvalde school shooting.
Mitchell claimed that releasing records could tarnish future testimony should her office investigate.
The lawsuit maintains that victims in this tragedy have a compelling need for this information.
