Travis County district attorney Jose Garza’s office announced on Wednesday a motion filed to dismiss the felony domestic violence charge against former Texas Longhorns head coach Chris Beard.

The office determined that after reviewing evidence, including a December statement made by Randi Trew, and her wishes to have the charge dismissed, that Garza believed the office could not prove Beard’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

“Our office takes all domestic abuse cases seriously to ensure justice for the victims,” Garza said. “In every case, we are obligated to evaluate the facts and evidence and do our best to reach an outcome that will keep the victim and our community safe.
