Maybe, but I doubt it. They could easily put out a statement like
We are aware of allegations that officials with the Texas government interfered with the lawful duties of federal officers and are investigating them presently. Regardless of the particulars of this matter I can say that anyone interfering with federal agents, be they state government employees or anyone else, is a highly serious matter, and it will be handled accordingly. We will provide more information to the public about this as soon as we’re able, but at this time we have no further comments."
or some other empty boilerplate. Maybe they didn’t have a lawyer or bureaucrat handy who could wordsmith that out when the reporter came calling, but I think it’s a lot more likely they wanted to pretend this whole thing never happened so they didn’t have to stand up to the Texas state government.
