The AG's website has opinions posted: https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/op ... o-opinions

I assume this one will be added when he has finished it.

DA Palmers also seems to think that the County Treasurer can be "construed" as an office utilized by the court. That's a bit more than a stretch. I think claiming the Probation Department is "utilized by the court" is another long stretch. Frankly I don't think even the DA's office can be said to be "utilized by the court", but If it does, then any DA's office that is in a building that doesn't even contain a court would be off limits. Certainly a Treasurer's office is not "utilized by the court" when it is not in a courthouse, so I don't see how it could be "utilized by the court" when it is in a courthouse.

I shall be very interested to see what the AG thinks "utilized by the court" means.
