Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg and Bexar County District Attorney Susan Reed joined Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott’s inaugural Human Trafficking Prevention Task Force meeting in January 2010.
According to a January 2010 press release on the Texas Attorney General website, legislation sponsored by State Senator Leticia Van de Putte and then State Representative Randy Weber resulted in the creation of the Task Force during the 81st Legislative Session under House Bill 2009.
“Joining the attorney general at today’s meeting were Sen. Leticia Van de Putte and Rep. Randy Weber, who authored legislation creating the task force. Also present were task force members Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg and Bexar County District Attorney Susan Reed.”
In April 2013, Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg was sentenced to 45 days in jail for driving while intoxicated.
WatchdogWire reported on a case out of Bexar County involving allegations of corruption and cover-ups made by former San Antonio City Director of Telecommunications John Foddrill, Sr. towards State Senator and Lt Governor candidate Leticia Van de Putte and Bexar County District Attorney Susan Reed.
PG Matuszak reported those allegations involved 45 months of illegal meetings in violation of the Texas Open Meetings Act and DA Reed’s refusal to prosecute stemming from Foddrill’s research of the City of San Antonio’s monthly billing account (aka “the variable account”), and potential circumventions of the city charter and Texas Local Government Code.
On July 1, 2014 the Office of the Attorney General’s office published a news release on and link to a Human Trafficking Prevention Manual for Educational Professionals.
