Open records under threat from Texas judicial rule
A Texas committee proposes keeping search and arrest warrants private, allowing judges to block disclosure of public records if requests are deemed harassing. The draft follows a Senate scolding of Chief Justice Phillips over phone records and could mark the first step toward a broader open records rule. The Supreme Court opposes making warrants private and urges dropping the proposal.
