'Day of reckoning': Texas Gov. Abbott signs bail reform package in Houston I signed into law the strongest bail reform package in Texas history. Texas is keeping violent criminals OFF OUR STREETS and OUT of our communities. fox26houston.com/news/houston-t…
Hey @CMZoQadri, how about next time, before you automatically vilify and bash APD when you don’t have all the information you actually get the facts straight. You spew hate against APD when in reality those officers were stopping an individual who was trying to assault another…
Guy shoots at police, walks free, and faces only probation as part of a deferred adjudication please. The insanity that is Travis county continues. kxan.com/news/local/aus…
This is ridiculous. An activist justice of the peace blatantly violating the law and their authority to release individuals accused of heinous crimes such as murder, sexual assault of child, aggravated assault against a family member causing serious bodily injury, robbery,…
A newly-elected justice of the peace has reduced bonds in at least 123 felony cases since she started in January, KXAN found. No other Travis County JP has reduced felony bonds in that same time frame. kxan.com/investigations…
Nice of the Statesman to try and stir up some nonsense. Violent crowd, not complying with lawful directions, destroying property, and assaulting officers - gets pepper sprayed. But instead of pointing out the wrong doing by the crowd and individuals, the media tries to grab…
These groups don't care about a peaceful message or demonstration. It's very clear their agenda is a selfish one of destroying property, assaulting law enforcement, and infringing on the freedoms of other law abiding citizens across our city. This behavior shouldn't be tolerated…

You’re right Ms. Garza - law enforcement are police officers. And you’re supposed to be a prosecutor. We’re enforcing the law, how about you try prosecuting something. Seems fair.
The Austin Police Association has expressed frustration following the arrest of Deepak Kandel, who admitted to stabbing Akshay Gupta on a CapMetro bus Wednesday evening. cbsaustin.com/news/local/apa…
I am incredibly proud of our Homicide Unit for achieving a 100% clearance rate on all 2023 homicides. Your relentless work brings justice and peace to families in tough times. Thank you for your dedication, for following every lead and never giving up. Keep up the great work!
This is exactly why bail reform is needed. It’s not a matter of politics - these are quite literally life and death situations that victims are having to face as a result of poor decisions and failures of DAs and judges. To our legislators on both sides of the aisle, I ask that…
AUSTIN MAN held a mother and her 5-year-old daughter hostage in his apartment, blocking the only exit for nearly an hour. When she finally got free, he warned: “If cops come, I’m gonna pull out the gun and they’ll have to shoot me.” He followed her to the car, threw her keys,…
Thank you Congressman Roy for standing with the men and women of law enforcement, many who have given the ultimate sacrifice to protect the Texans we serve!
On #NationalPoliceWeek, we honor the brave men and women who have dedicated, risked, and given their lives to preserve law and order. Team Roy stands with peace officers in TX-21 and nationwide for their noble service and sacrifice. God bless you all.
Godspeed, Izzy. You’ll be missed. I had the honor of working with Izzy when he was my night shift corporal. I never saw him in a bad mood or not be willing to stop and talk with someone, and was a dedicated officer. To our Austin community, if you’re looking for a way to show…
The Austin Police Association and all our members are saddened by the sudden and tragic loss of Austin Police Department Detective Israel “Izzy” Garcia. Detective Garcia served the Austin Police Department since 2009 when he was brought over as part of the Austin Public Safety…
Repeatedly charged for murder? Fear not, DA Garza has your back and will give you another chance. It’s apparently not serious until someone has been charged with their third murder or more. After all, it’s just people lives that are being taken. Why should Jose Garza care about…
UPDATE on Jon Willard, Austin man charged with TWO MURDERS: DA just REJECTED the 2nd capital murder case. Timeline: - 2022: Charged in gas station execution - Nov 2024: DA reduces 1st murder to aggravated robbery - Nov 25, 2024: While on ankle monitor, allegedly shoots…
AUSTIN MAN Raymond Cathey was charged with six armed robberies on Saturday. He used a gun. Twelve victims. One was shot in the arm. Another nearly had his head blown off. Cathey was out on bond for two felony drug cases. But there’s more... Last Oct, Cathey was charged with…
The lists on here are frightening. Violent felons released, or not prosecuted at all, just to advance a personal agenda that puts our entire city at risk. Shows that the most dangerous person in all of Travis county isn’t a violent felon - it’s Jose Garza. How much longer…
More than 100 felony cases since 2021 had bonds modified or charges dropped as a result of the Travis County District Attorney’s Office missing indictment deadlines, a KXAN investigation found so far. READ MORE: kxan.com/investigations…
Andy was a phenomenal officer with a relentless work ethic. Working in areas that were known for high rates of violent crime, he worked incredibly hard to hold criminals accountable and protect his community. The simple act of dedicating this highway in his honor is the very…
House Bill 2415 would rename part of FM 969 after fallen @Austin_Police Officer Andy Traylor. #txlege kvue.com/article/news/p…
What a surprise. A suspect who was charged with Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon, Deadly Conduct, and Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon, had all of those charges dismissed - now he’s been arrested for murdering someone in a road rage incident. The District and County…
A 21-year-old man has been charged with murder in a road rage incident that left a 54-year-old man dead along the I-35 service road over the weekend, police said. cbsaustin.com/news/local/21-…
Well. How ironic is this. Almost like the criminals don't really care and plan to keep committing crime no matter how many breaks they are given.
A repeat offender allegedly stole 9 laptops from the Travis County District Attorney's Office. @KXAN_News We're still waiting to learn what was on those computers. Where a deputy recognized the suspect from at the link below. kxan.com/news/local/aus…
Charged with MURDER. Yet he walks free and almost a year later he’s still not been indicted. Incompetent, apathetic, inept, and dangerous don’t even begin to describe the Travis County District Attorney. He will come after law enforcement with everything he’s got and use the…
AUSTIN MAN charged with murder but not in custody—despite a credible witness and surveillance video of the killing. • 2022: Stabbed man to death. • $300k bond—dropped to $1 and dismissed • 2024: Caught with meth. Charge dismissed Over a year later. Where is indictment?
