On Tuesday, Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo addressed the recent developments of a Texas Rangers investigation into her office.
Authorities executed search warrants on March 12 focused on the offices of Hidalgo for electronic devices that may hold information regarding a controversial $11 million contract awarded last year.
Hidalgo told reporters she would “love” to address the allegations, but had been advised that under the law she could not go into details. “What was presented was one-sided. Of course, it sounds alarming because it’s meant to sound alarming,” said Hidalgo. Three other vendors, including the University of Texas Health Science Center and the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials, submitted proposals for the contract. The search warrant quotes messages from Pereyra to the deputy chief of staff as early as January 2021. The warrant also quotes messages from other Harris County staffers working on the project.
