Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (@TxAG) has proposed new rules aimed at enhancing accountability and the rule of law by requiring district and county attorneys in counties with more than 250,000 people to submit enhanced reports. These reports will detail how certain crimes are being prosecuted. The initiative targets Texas' most populated counties, mandating them to provide investigative files for cases involving indicted police officers, poll watchers, and defendants claiming self-defense. Paxton's office (@KenPaxtonTX) emphasizes that the lack of appropriate prosecution by district attorneys has caused significant damage in Texas communities.
