    Dear Board Chair David Gutiérrez and Honorable Members of the Board:

    I write to request an appointment before the Board to allow the Office of the Travis County
    District Attorney to present to you evidence relating to the ongoing criminal case, State of Texas
    v. Daniel Perry, D1-DC-21-900007, prior to your final recommendation to the Governor. In
    addition, I ask that you request to hear from the family of the victim, Garrett Foster, before you
    make your final recommendation.

    As you are aware, four days ago on Good Friday, a Travis County jury worked through the
    holiday until they finalized their decision just after 4pm to find the defendant guilty of one count
    of murder for the offense of shooting and killing Mr. Garrett Foster. The jury issued its judgment
    after deliberating for over fifteen hours and hearing eight days of testimony. Both counsel for the
    State and counsel for the defense conducted themselves professionally and competently. I am
    grateful for the service of all the attorneys in this case.

    Before making any decision, I implore you to review the trial transcript, evidence from trial
    officials that may have an impact on public safety, and request input from the victim’s family as
    to how a pardon may impact them.

    Later today, Judge Clifford Brown, the Presiding Judge of the Travis County Criminal District
    Courts, will determine a time and date for the sentencing of the defendant. As soon as I am
    apprised of that date and time, I will communicate it to you in the hope that we can find a
    mutually agreeable time for a presentation by the State after the sentencing but before your final
    recommendation to the Governor.
