State Senator Roland Gutierrez to Announce Uvalde Legislation

    Austin, Texas – On Tuesday, State Senator Roland Gutierrez will announce 4 bills that have been filed in the wake of Texas’ rising gun violence epidemic to increase victims’ access to justice. January 24th marks 8 months since the Robb Elementary school shooting in Uvalde, Texas. In the months since the horrific massacre, Uvalde families had difficulty accessing services, resources, and financial support. Further, due to the local DA and DPS’ coverup, victims families have been kept in the dark on who is accountable for law enofrcment’s failed response and what, if any, legal action will be taken against them.
