Although the City of Kemah continues to defy the Texas Office of the Attorney General, several residents, and a state lawmaker over disclosure of documents related to an investigation into former Police Chief Holland Jones, on Monday a Travis County judge will hold a hearing on the city’s lawsuit against Attorney General Ken Paxton over the matter.
The case stems from complaints filed against Jones by at least 14 former and current Kemah police officers in April 2022. After the Kemah City Council voted to hire attorney William “Bill” Helfand to investigate Jones, Kemah resident Sheila Thorne filed a request under the Texas Public Information Act (TPIA), but the city appealed to the OAG.
