Travis County DA failed to meet deadline to indict murder suspect | FOX 7 Austin
SUMMARY: Travis County District Attorney’s Office faced criticism after failing to indict murder suspect Steven Morrison within the required 90 days, leading to a bond reduction and his temporary release. The original prosecutor resigned due to management challenges, leading to a new prosecutor taking over shortly before the deadline. Despite the new prosecutor’s efforts to indict the case on the 91st day, Morrison was granted release after a judge reduced his bond from $800,000 to $100. Following scrutiny, the DA’s office successfully petitioned for an increased bond, leading to Morrison’s return to custody. The office acknowledges the timeline issues encountered during this process.

Last month, we told you the Travis County District Attorney’s Office failed to meet a 90-day deadline to indict a murder suspect. New records reveal DA Jose Garza had more than a week to move the case forward before the deadline after the original prosecutor resigned. That missed deadline resulted in a murder suspect bonding out of jail
