EXCLUSIVE: A Williamson County grand jury is considering evidence tampering charges against Sheriff Robert Chody, crews from "Live PD" and anyone else possibly involved in the destruction of video in the death of #JavierAmbler. Multiple deputies confirm being called to testify.
Chody has hired prominent Austin defense attorney Gerry Morris to represent him. Morris had no comment. Experts say possible charges include evidence tampering and that prosecutors must prove that whoever destroyed the video knew it was needed for an investigation.
Williamson DA Shawn Dick said in a statement: "We continue to pursue justice in the matter of the death of Javier Ambler...as we look into the possible tampering with evidence by personnel from Williamson County agencies who have had contact or communication with the TV show."

🧵THREAD: Texas begins the historic effort at 9 a.m. to remove from office AG Ken Paxton, a Trump ally and champion for conservatives, amid multiple scandals that include allegations of abuse of office to help a donor in exchange for a home remodel and a job for his mistress. 1/5
This morning, in what could be an opening dramatic moment, Senators will consider multiple Paxton motions to dismiss 16 impeachment articles against him, which would require 16 Senate votes. Some leading non-Senator Republicans have urged a fact-finding trial. 2/5
Paxton has the chance to plead not guilty on 16 impeachment articles on which he will be tried by the Texas Senate, serving as jurors. About 100 people ordered to appear as witnesses will arrive at the Capitol by 11 a.m., including big names in Texas politics like Karl Rove. 3/5

NEW: Months after the Uvalde shooting, amid demands for transparency, multiple Texas lawmakers have gotten confidential information by signing non-disclosure agreements with the Texas DPS -- a highly unusual extension of secrecy in a case of utmost public importance. (1/4)
The six lawmakers risk a fine of $1,000 if they violate the agreements. Some served on investigative committees and say the documents were key to their inquiry. Others say the records will help them draft bills for the Legislative session in January. (1/4)
DPS says it doesn't track how often lawmakers get secret information through NDAs. State law allows it, but reporting with @AutulloAAS shows it isn't a common practice, and government transparency advocates question the use of such contracts.

NEW: Four Uvalde victims were still alive when they were pulled from the classroom May 24, raising whether any could have survived by a faster response. As the investigation turns to that question, an Austin doctor is leading a team to study victims' survival chances. (1/4)
Teacher Eva Mireles, who called husband after being shot, died in an ambulance in the Robb Elementary parking lot, new information shows. One child died in Hondo on the way to a San Antonio hospital. Two children died at Uvalde Memorial Hospital. (2/4)
The Uvalde EMS director, speaking publicly for the first time, says ambulances were on the scene within five minutes of the gunman entering the school but instructed to stage more than an hour. "I know we were ready," he said. Over the next hour, many other medics arrived. (3/4)

JUST IN: A Texas House report in the Uvalde shooting widely condemns an army of federal, state and local police, extending far beyond a lack of clear command by schools police chief Pete Arredondo. Officers described the scene as a chaos, but still failed to act. (1/3)
The report says,"The entirety of law enforcement and its training, preparation, and response shares systemic responsibility for many missed opportunities that day." It says "hundreds of responders from numerous agencies" had active shooter training and could have done more. (2/3)
The committee said that it found no "villains" other than the attacker, but instead found "systemic failures and egregious poor decision making."

BREAKING: A rifle-armed Uvalde officer sighted in to shoot the Robb Elementary attacker before he entered the school but instead waited for supervisor permission -- one of many new revelations in a report obtained today by national experts about the May 24 police response. 1/4
The report by the Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training cites 3 missed chances to slow the gunman before he entered the building. It says officers who tried to stop him in the classroom "lost momentum" after taking fire as more weapons, including tear gas arrived. 2/4
The report says officers could have tried to breach the classroom through sheetrock, windows, and other means. "While we do not have definitive information at this point, it is possible that some of the people who died during this event could have been saved." 3/4
