Travis County, TX - Today, Travis County District Attorney José Garza wrote to the Texas Board of Pardons and
Paroles to request that the Board consider evidence relating to the case State of Texas v. Daniel Perry. Specifically, he
asks for a meeting with the Board to present evidence considered by jurors in this case. He additionally asks that the
Board meet with the family of Garrett Foster, the victim in this case, and consider the public safety implications of their
decision prior to making a final recommendation.
“For as long the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles has existed, it has been a cautious steward of the power of clemency
in our State,” said Travis County District Attorney José Garza. “We look forward to working with the Board to present all
evidence necessary for its consideration.”
Later today, at 2:00 p.m., the parties will meet in chambers with Judge Clifford Brown, Presiding Judge of the Travis
