Travis County District Attorney José Garza’s Response to the False Statements from the Texas Governor

Travis County, TX — Today, Travis County District Attorney José Garza released the following statement in response to the Texas Governor’s online comments.

“These officers are heroes, and it should go without saying that my office is not seeking any charges and would not seek charges. The accounts to the contrary are false, intentionally false, and are being peddled for obvious political purposes. 

We are proud to work with our partners at the Austin Police Department every day and are so grateful for the bravery that these officers showed.

We also grieve with our community members who lost loved ones during this horrendous act of violence and are disgusted by the leaders in Texas using their deaths to score political points.”
