US EditionAppeals Court Orders Release of Uvalde School Shooting Records
UVALDE COUNTY, TEXAS, JUL 16 – The ruling affirms a prior order to release critical records after law enforcement delays contributed to 21 deaths in Texas's deadliest school shooting, officials said.
- A Texas appeals court judge ordered Uvalde County and its school district to release records related to the 2022 Robb Elementary School shooting, siding with media requests.
- Amid a July 2024 court order and years of resistance, the Fourth Court of Appeals confirmed the mandate, as defendants claimed governmental immunity.
- Nineteen children and two teachers were killed in the 2022 shooting, underscoring the stakes, as Laura Prather said it sends a clear message against `vague legal claims`.
- According to Laura Prather, defendants now have 45 days to petition the Texas Supreme Court with a 15-day extension option.
- Effective Sept. 1, the Uvalde Strong Act, signed by Gov. Greg Abbott in June, increases officer training for school shooter responses.
