Dallas County constable won't release names of those he fired:
Dallas County Constable Derick Evans refuses to release the names of 11 deputies he fired for allegedly falsifying official documents.
Evans fired the deputies after launching his own investigation into deputies in his Precinct 1 office who serve civil court papers.
In June, I requested the names under Texas' open records law.
I recently got a response from the district attorney's office civil division, which handles open records requests for county elected officials.
"Please be advised that the constable has no responsive documents to your request," Michele Tapia, of the DA's Office, wrote in her letter.
A total of 16 deputies were fired after the auditor expanded the investigation to all five constable offices.
Evans is being accused of retaliating against deputies who came forward to report allegations of wrongdoing against him that led to his indictment in December on a number of felony charges.

Precinct 3 Constable Ben Adamcik did supply information about the deputy he fired.

Precinct 2 Constable Michael Gothard provided details about the three deputies he fired.

Precinct 4 Constable Roy Williams said he did not have anything that was responsive to my request.

The county initially tried to withhold the names of those fired, but the Texas Attorney General ruled that it was public information that should be released.
