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.

Dallas County District Attorney John Creuzot and two other Democratic district attorneys filed a lawsuit Friday challenging the constitutionality of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s newly adopted rules targeting urban prosecutors.

Last month, it became a requirement for district and county attorneys that represent an area with a population of more than 400,000 people to provide “performance reports" to Attorney General Ken Paxton's office and provide certain case files.
