Texas silent on maternal death data amid rising mortality
The Dallas Morning News seeks case level data under the Texas Public Information Act after a study shows maternal mortality nearly doubled to 35.8 per 100000 births from 2010, with black women twice as likely to die within a year after pregnancy. The state cites a 2011 AG ruling to keep details secret, though critics urge privacy protections while enabling research. Democratic Rep. Armando Walle calls for open records exemptions review and a reassessment by Gov. Abbott.
