I was proud to vote for Paxton. Looking forward to the results.

This is even better than getting rid of Massie.

Representative Leach:

We were the prosecutors on the Adam Hoffman case. Ms. Cantu has 29 years of prosecution experience. Mr. Cotlar has 25 years of criminal law experience and is Board Certified in Criminal Law. Our combined background includes work on thousands of child sexual-assault cases.

Today, we are writing in response to your public letter to Attorney General Paxton. As you know, we often field questions from legislators with good-faith questions about the operations of this office. In this case, you chose to publicly issue a letter questioning decisions implicating the traumatic abuse endured by a child and a difficult decision made by that child. Despite this issue being raised repeatedly by third parties seeking to politicize this case, this office has sought to respect the child’s privacy regarding these sensitive matters. As prosecutors, we believe it is important to defend our work and set the facts straight.

As line prosecutors in the Attorney General’s Criminal Prosecutions Division, our job is not political. Our job is to ensure that justice is done. And here, we did everything that we could to accomplish that end. We will not engage in political gamesmanship, but we will inform you of the facts surrounding the ultimate resolution of this case.

In June 2025, our prosecution team tried a four-day jury trial against Adam Hoffman for Continuous Sexual Abuse of a Child. And, as the prosecutors in the courtroom, we can share that the child involved demonstrated incredible courage in facing down and testifying against the man that abused him. But, as with any child sexual assault trial, participation in this process took a massive emotional toll on every witness involved, especially the child. And, unfortunately, that jury could not reach a unanimous verdict, resulting in a hung jury by a vote of seven to five, with seven voting to convict.

Nonetheless, our office was prepared to re-try the case and seek a conviction. However, following his experience in the first trial, the child made clear that he would not voluntarily testify at a second trial. As you know, the Constitution guarantees defendants an opportunity to confront and cross-examine the witnesses against them, and here that witness was a child who had already spent his formative years enduring abuse and the traumatizing impact of having to face his accuser. In this case, the child emphasized that he preferred to move on with his life and prioritize his mental and emotional health over subjection to the unimaginably difficult position of once again testifying against the man who abused him.

In light of the child’s decision, there would have been only one path forward for a second prosecution: subpoenaing the child, forcing him to re-face his abuser, and subjecting him to a second grueling cross-examination. This process would have further traumatized the child and was against his wishes. As prosecutors, we must consider the extent to which a prosecution will compromise a child’s emotional and mental well-being by forcing him to testify against his will. Although our office had no pathway to prove the elements necessary to secure a felony conviction without the child’s testimony, we did secure jail time for his abuser and admission to a lesser offense.

We hope you can understand this difficult decision, which was made entirely in the best interest of the child involved. You are welcome to second-guess our decisions, but our hope is that you and others who have taken an interest in this case would respect the child’s privacy and his decision on how to move forward with his life.

Sincerely,

Brenda Cantu, Assistant Attorney General Dorian Cotlar, Assistant Attorney General

Not so fast. I got a text from Fort Bend co. About an hour ago. Said poll books problems. County wide. Had to shut down system. Said problem with people checking into vote not the actual vote. Hope to extend hours. Steal is in. Fort Bend is Texas.
