38th Judicial District Attorney Christina Mitchell has appealed the release of the search warrant issued on or about May 24th, 2022, for the residence of Celia “Sally: Gonzalez; residence where Salvador Ramos was residing prior to the shooting at Robb Elementary School on that same date.
On August 14th, 2025, The Uvalde Hesperian submitted a public records request via email for the search warrant to the 38th District Attorney’s Christina Mitchell.
Mitchell responded via email to the request on August 18th. “This is to inform you that I have requested an opinion from the Attorney General’s office regarding your request below,” Mitchell wrote.
In a letter to State Attorney Ken Paxton, Mitchell appealed the request to release the search warrant citing the search warrant is part of an ongoing investigation.
As part of the District Attorney’s letter, she wrote:
“Any release of records or reports to that incident would interfere with said ongoing investigation and prosecution and would impede and hinder my ability to prosecute the criminal offenses alleged by an Uvalde County grand jury.
I am therefore requesting that the investigation of this incident, specifically, the information
requested in said electronic mail be withheld under Section 552.108 of the Texas Government
Code. Any release of that information, specifically, the search warrant of the shooter’s home
would interfere with the detection, investigation or prosecution of a crime. Any release of
evidence as it relates to the information requested is a release of evidence of a crime.”
On Thursday, September 18th, the Uvalde Hesperian received a return phone call from the State of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s office pertaining to an inquiry on the appeal. A representative from the Attorney General’s Office stated the office has 45 days to make a ruling on the appeal.
