on Friday saying the committee worked as fast as possible to publish the report, which was completed only minutes before the printing deadline.
“We reached out to Uvalde authorities to find out what the Uvalde families wanted — did they prefer we delay the release until both versions were available?,” Moody said. “The resounding answer was that they wanted what we had as quickly as possible and didn’t mind the Spanish translation coming later if they got answers sooner. We honored that request.”
The other committee members include Rep. Dustin Burrows, a Lubbock Republican who serves as chair, and former state Supreme Court Justice Eva Guzman.
