[edit] AG Clarifies Ruling That School District Can Withhold Cheerleader Police Reports
The Texas Attorney General’s Office has clarified its recent ruling allowing Katy ISD to withhold the police report on the Morton Ranch High School cheerleader hazing investigation.
In an unsigned letter dated Dec. 22, the AG’s Office ruled the district did not have to release the report to InstantNewsKaty under the provisions of the Texas Open Records Act.
Attorney General’s spokesman Thomas Kelley said the report could be withheld under article 58.007 of the Texas Family Code dealing with “law enforcement records and files concerning a child” because the victims were under the age of 17."
