Two civil-rights advocates addressed the Wichita County Commissioner's Court during public comment on July 8 to deliver a legal notice alleging constitutional violations related to charging defendants by information rather than by indictment.

Jessica Saxon, introduced herself as a civil-rights advocate and litigator from Washington, D.C., and said she was providing public notice to the commissioners "in accordance with USCS rules of civil procedure" and the U.S. Constitution. Saxon told the court that state procedures that allow charging by information instead of grand-jury indictment, as practiced in some states, are unconstitutional and that paying public officials who enforce such practices could create criminal liability. She said she had a written notice for the court's record.

Tanner Badownian, who identified himself as the civil-rights litigator Saxon had mentioned, expanded on the claim and said the advocates are traveling the country to provide notice and prepare litigation. Badownian said the group is on the 13th stop of 55 planned stops over the next 40 days and described a dataset of affidavits he said covered roughly 2 million criminal affidavits nationally and about 22,000 in Texas; he attributed those numbers to his team's work. He urged county officials to follow constitutional procedures and said the matter would be litigated up to the U.S. Supreme Court.

The commissioners acknowledged the speakers and accepted the written notice; no formal action or response was taken during the meeting. The court's public-comment policy was cited by the presiding official, who reminded attendees that the commissioners could not take action on items raised during public comment.

The statements at the meeting were delivered as claims by the speakers and were not verified or endorsed by county officials during the session.
