: First Amendment CenterCharges against Texas official who released public info thrown out
By By The Associated Press
CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — A state judge has thrown out felony charges against a top state official indicted for giving journalists information about a suicide in a Texas jail.
Adan Munoz Jr., executive director of the Texas Commission on Jail Standards, had been indicted after releasing information about a Nueces County jail inmate who hanged himself in February.
The Corpus Christi Caller-Times reported yesterday that state District Judge Sandra Watts threw out the charges. She said the wording in the indictments was vague and needed clarification.
Munoz had pleaded not guilty to two felony counts of misuse of official information. His attorney says Munoz broke no laws by releasing public information after receiving a public-information request.
