13+ hour, 31+ min ago (554+ words) The first time that Allison Clayton, deputy director of the Innocence Project of Texas (IPTX), heard about the murder case that sent Odessa native James Reyos to prison, she immediately knew he wasn't guilty. "James had been railroaded by the system for a variety of reasons," Clayton told the Current during a recent interview. "I was afraid we weren't going to be able to do anything for him because we have a court system that is becoming more and more hostile to claims of actual innocence." In 1983, Reyos "a gay Apache man "was convicted of killing Father Patrick Ryan, a closeted Catholic priest, in a motel room in Odessa. Although Reyos had an airtight alibi, and there was no physical evidence tying him to the crime, he was sentenced to 38 years in prison. Clayton said to get Reyos fully exonerated,…...

16+ hour, 16+ min ago (1741+ words) Attorney General Ken Paxton's recent crusade against nonprofit organizations has been turbocharged by a flurry of favorable court rulings validating his use of a nearly 150-year-old state law to demand a company's internal documents, and move to shut them down if they don't comply. Over the last two years, Paxton has launched investigations into at least a dozen companies, mostly immigrant-serving nonprofits, claiming they were breaking the law, or in some cases, their own corporate charters. None of these allegations have yet been proven in court. What two key Texas courts and a federal appeals court have said, though, is that Paxton has wide authority to demand internal corporate records and file lawsuits to revoke a company's right to do business in Texas if he believes they are violating the law. He can bring these legal actions without offering evidence…...
