"Texas DPS Ordered to Release Withheld Documents on Uvalde School Shooting"

A state district judge has ordered the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) to release records related to the Uvalde school shooting that the agency has withheld from the public for over a year. The decision comes after a coalition of news organizations, including ProPublica and The Texas Tribune, sued the agency seeking the release of records that would provide more clarity on law enforcement's response to the shooting. DPS has argued that releasing the records could interfere with an ongoing investigation, but the judge has instructed the agency to submit a list of redactions it wants to make to the public records. The lawsuit against the city and county of Uvalde for withholding records is also ongoing.
