Wednesday’s ruling is the second time a Texas judge has ruled against the attorney general for investigating shelters helping migrants.

An attorney for Catholic Charities, William Powell, said he hoped the ruling put an end to the attorney general’s investigation into the organization’s work. Catholic Charities, a nonprofit that provides food, shelter and other basic necessities to asylum seekers, people experiencing homelessness and others in need, said it has not violated any laws and the attorney general’s office has not presented any evidence to the contrary.
Catholic Charities argued that the attorney general's office failed to show that there would be any benefit to the deposition.
