AUSTIN (KXAN) — The Travis County District Attorney's Office provided details Thursday surrounding the nature of the threats allegedly made against District Attorney Jose Garza, and the reasons the Travis County Commissioners Court authorized county funds to be transferred to the DA's office for Garza's security. In total, the Commissioners Court authorized $115,000 — $64,000 of which was used to improve security at Garza's personal home, according to a press release. "According to County policy, all security enhancements will be removed when Garza leaves office and returned to the county," the release stated. Garza began receiving political threats of violence following Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's announcement in April 2023 about his plans to pardon Daniel Perry. Perry was convicted of murder in the 2020 death of a protester. Perry admitted to shooting the demonstrator in downtown Austin. His attorneys argued the shooting was in self-defense. Abbott pardoned Perry in May 2024. The DA's Office said Garza continued to receive threats in person, online and via mail through 2024 and provided the following examples of the threats against Garza: Image of an example of one of the threats Jose Garza has recieved.

Executing a communist piece of s--- such as yourself is always a pleasure. Soros can't save you," one of the notes provided by the DA's Office read. According to the press release, after the Commissioners Court completed three security assessments, it approved the transfer of $115,000 to the DA's Office for security measures. The DA's Office press release comes shortly after Garza and Travis County Auditor Patti Smith filed a lawsuit against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton following an OAG public records decision stating "some" information related to Garza's security should be released. This is the second time in recent months that a lawsuit has been filed against Paxton due to an open records decision that directly relates to county funds being used for Garza's security. In September, Smith filed a lawsuit against Paxton after his office ruled the records KXAN requested related to $27,000 of county funds for Garza's private security should be released. RELATED: Travis County sues Paxton to avoid releasing records about DA security According to the press release issued Thursday, the threats made against Garza were reported to the proper authorities. The Travis County Sheriff’s Office previously told KXAN it collaborates with other law enforcement agencies and provides close patrol and security to elected officials upon request if they determine a “valid” threat exists. KXAN previously asked Garza if the potential threats against him were reported to TCSO to be investigated, and if so, what TCSO found. KXAN never received a response. “TCSO supports the safety of elected officials and we evaluate their requests for assistance on a case by case basis. We assess each situation to determine the existence of exigent circumstances, a valid threat and jurisdiction,” TCSO previously stated.
