## Resource

Texas Governor Greg Abbott proposes a statewide prosecutors office to oversee local cases and ensure timely indictments, following reports of missed deadlines in Travis County. Garza, the local DA, criticizes it as a political stunt, while Abbott emphasizes justice for victims. This move is part of Abbotts broader crime package and could ignite debates on local control versus state oversight in the justice system.
