The DAs say in two lawsuits that a new rule requiring counties to hand over almost all documents the attorney general’s office requests violates state and federal law.

The lawsuit challenges new rules that require DA offices in counties with a population of 400,000 or more to turn over case files and information to the AG's office

The trio of DAs say the new reporting requirement overextends Paxton’s power, encroaches on the judiciary and burdens local prosecutors.
