Over the past three weeks, TV station KSAT ran roughly a dozen stories highlighting the Bexar County District Attorney’s office relationship with Wren Collective, an Austin-based criminal justice reform group. Based on hundreds of emails and text messages between District Attorney Joe Gonzales’ office and Wren, KSAT reported that the “mysterious” outside group “wields significant influence” on the office. The station also gave air time to Gonzales’ political enemies — including Meredith Chacon, a former prosecutor who ran against him as a Republican in 2022, and the head of San Antonio’s powerful police union — who suggested the relationship was unethical, if not illegal.
