Houston Conservatives File Lawsuit Against Ex-DA Kim Ogg Alleging Political Targeting

A coalition of conservative activists in Houston has initiated a lawsuit against ex-Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg, alleging that her administration engaged in politically motivated prosecutions. The complaint, detailed in recent Houston Chronicle coverage, asserts that Ogg’s office systematically targeted individuals and groups based on their political affiliations, employing prosecutorial power as a tool for political retribution. This legal challenge brings to light the persistent friction in Houston’s political arena, especially amid ongoing debates over criminal justice reform and the limits of prosecutorial authority.
