Harris County Precinct 4 Commissioner Lesley Briones joined Garcia, who mentioned that Precinct 3 Commissioner Tom Ramsey wanted to attend Tuesday's press conference but was unavailable then. Spiegel added that despite there being an exemption to this requirement for press conferences, Harris County Attorney Christian Menefee has advised precinct personnel not to have more than two commissioners in any given place at the same time.
