Five prosecutors from Texas District continue the Attorney General of the Ken Paxton State, which questions the new rules that would give his office a large authority to access the files of the cases of their office, according to a new report.
On Friday, in the two proceedings brought, the district prosecutors said that the rule, in fact, since April, is an unconstitutional overtaking which violates the separation of powers and would impose unnecessary charges on the county prosecutors, the Texas Tribune reported.
Dallas Dallas, Bexar and Harris District Prosecutors filed a complaint while the District Prosecutors of the counties of Travis and El Paso filed another. The two proceedings seek to prevent Paxton from enforcing the rule, arguing that it violates the constitution of the state and the federal law.
The rule created by the Paxton office applies to counties with at least 400,000 residents, which had no impact on 13 of the 254 counties in Texas, the Texas Tribune reported. It obliges district prosecutors to provide any documents or communications produced or received by their offices, including confidential information.

All documents, correspondence and handwritten tickets relevant to a case may be subject to the exam, depending on the point of sale. Counties must also submit quarterly reports to the Attorney General on twelve different subjects, including specific information on the police accusation and the number of indictment acts of the electoral code violations. Information on internal policies and the way in which the funds obtained by civil confiscation is spent should also be delivered under the new rule.
The Dallas County District Prosecutor John Creuzot described the rules as a violation of the separation of powers between the executive power and the judiciary.
“To worsen things, the extremely heavy declaration requirements of the rule will lead to the resources and responsibilities of the district prosecutors to divert the resources and staff of the roles and main responsibilities of prosecution, which harms public security and the administration of justice,” said Creuzot in a statement. “And it will cost Dallas County taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars or more to pay the technology and resources necessary to identify and produce all reactive information under these unnecessary declaration requirements.”

“AG Paxton should work with all district and county prosecutors in pursuit of justice, not fighting with Democrats in big cities,” added Creuzot.
Paxton’s office said that the provision was a way to “slow down the District Voyou prosecutors” which would have refused to respect the law. District prosecutors who do not comply with the report rule could be accused of official misconduct and dismissed.
“District and county lawyers have a duty to protect the communities they serve by confirming the law and vigorously pursuing dangerous criminals,” Paxton said in March. “In many major counties, people responsible for protecting millions of Texans have endangered lives by refusing to pursue criminals and allowing violent delinquents to terrorize laws respectful of laws. This rule will allow citizens to hold the Das Rogue responsible.”

In response to prosecution, Paxton said on Friday that he is not surprising that Rogue Das who prefers to transform violent criminals on the street that their work is afraid of transparency and responsibility. “
“My AD report rule is a simple, simple and common sense measure that will highlight local officials who abdicate their responsibility for public security. This trial is baseless and simply a sad and desperate attempt to hide information from the public they have sworn to protect,” he continued.
The two prosecutions claim that the Paxton’s office does not have the radical competence that the rule creates, and that providing the requested information would be expensive and illegal, according to Texas Tribune. The proceedings claim that the rule aims to achieve a political objective by relaxing civil servants and by creating strict consequences for non-compliance.
