Assistant Attorney General Larry Black said Winn will be called to testify in the civil case, which was filed in Austin. A temporary restraining order keeps the records intact until a July 15 hearing to decide if the order should become a temporary injunction. Black argued state law protects the records Winn seeks to erase.
