Five Texas District State Attorney The State Attorney Ken Paxton sues, challenging new rules that will provide his office with a wide authority to access the records of his office, according to a new report.
In two lawsuits filed on Friday, district state prosecutors said that the rule, in fact, is an unconstitutional review that violates the separation of powers and that it will impose unnecessary loads to county prosecutors, said Texas Tribune.
District State Attorneys in Dallas, Bexar and Harris district filed one lawsuit While district lawyers in Travis and El Paso endured another one. Both lawsuits seek to block Paxton in the implementation of the rules, claiming that it violates the state constitution and federal law.
The rule created by the Paxton office is related to counties with at least 400,000 inhabitants, which affected only 13 Texas counties, Texas Tribune reported. District lawyers require that they provide all the documents or communications they have produced or received in their offices, including confidential information.

All documents, correspondence and hand -written notes relevant in the case can be subject to an examination, the exit states. The counties also have to submit three -month reports to the Attorney General on twelve different cases, including special information about police officers indictments and the number of the indictment are presented for violation of the Election Law. Internal policies data and how to consume the funds obtained by civil submission should also be handed under a new rule.
Dallas Dallas John Creuzot District State Attorney described the rules as a violation of the separation of powers between the executive authority and the judiciary.
“To make matters worse, extremely burdened requirements for reporting rules will cause officers’ offices to distract resources and staff from basic prosecutorial roles and responsibilities, damaging public security and administration of justice,” Creuzot states. “And this will cost the taxpayers of Dallas County, hundreds of thousands of dollars or more to pay the technology and resources needed to recognize and create all appropriate data in accordance with these unnecessary reporting requirements.”

“AG PAXTON should cooperate with all district and county lawyers in search of justice, not choosing fighting with democrats in big cities,” Creuzot added.
The Paxton office claimed that the provision was a way to “restrain themselves to district lawyers” who allegedly refuse to support the law. District lawyers who do not adhere to the reporting rules could be charged with officially inconsistent behavior and removed from duty.
“District and county attorneys are obliged to protect the communities they serve by supporting the law and vigorously persecuting dangerous criminals,” Paxton said in March. “In many large counties, people responsible for the protection of millions of Texas have instead endangered their lives by rejecting criminals and allowing violent offenders to terrorize Texas who respect laws.

In response to lawsuits, Paxton said on Friday that “it is not surprising that Rogue Das would rather lose violent criminals on the streets than their jobs are afraid of transparency and responsibility.”
“My Rule of Reporting on the Yes is a simple, simple measure of common sense that will shed light on local officials who give up responsibility to public security. This lawsuit is without credit and just a sad, desperate attempt to conceal the information from the public they swore,” he continued.
Two lawsuits claim that Paxton’s office does not have the practition that the rule creates, and that the given of the requested information would be expensive and illegal, according to the Texas tribune. Lawsuits claim that the rule seeks to achieve a political goal burdening officials and creating strict consequences for disobeying.
