Castro’s 90-Day Legal Escape | Dallas News

Governor Greg Abbott stalls, questioning whether Castro qualifies as a fugitive and claiming he may have been in Texas for work, not fleeing justice. Minnesota fears Castro might bolt if released, while Abbott insists the 90-day rule doesn’t bind his decision.
