JACKSON ATTORNEY SAYS HE’S SLOWLY IMPROVING

  

The attorney for Chester Jackson Jr. says her client is making slow progress—but still cannot speak.

According to attorney U.A. Lewis, Jackson is undergoing therapy treatment at an Austin hospital.

Thursday, several new documents related to the case were released by Burleson County authorities.

Burleson County Justice of the Peace Pct. 4 Judge Robert W. Urbanosky's office released copies of the citation, affidavit, and two magistrate admonishment forms for Jackson's public intoxication arrest and detention in the Burleson County Jail in April.

The release of the documents came 40 days after they were requested by Jackson's attorney.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's office is being asked to weigh in on the release of other public records requested by his attorney and the media.

The Texas Rangers continue to investigate how Jackson ended up on life support after he was taken from the Burleson County jail to a psychiatric hospital in Austin.
