The 38th Judicial District Attorney, Christina Mitchell, has failed to file an appeal within the 30-day period following the Texas Attorney General’s letter decision issued on October 22nd. According to legal counsel consulted by the Uvalde Hesperian, this missed deadline means the original Attorney General’s decision is now final and binding.
On August 22nd, the Uvalde Hesperian submitted a public records request to D.A. Christina Mitchell for the search warrant issued on or about May 24, 2022, for the residence of the Robb Elementary shooter’s grandmother, where the shooter had been living..
On December 3rd, the Hesperian followed up via email. D.A. Mitchell responded the same day, stating, “Additional information was submitted to the AG office.”
However, according to the attorney consulted by the Hesperian, any further communication with the Texas Attorney General does not extend or override the statutory appeal deadline.
The Uvalde Hesperian is now considering legal action, including filing a writ of mandamus in the 38th District Court against District Attorney Mitchell in her official capacity.
In the opinion of the Uvalde Hesperian, District Attorney Mitchell no longer has any legal basis to withhold the requested search warrant
