A Corpus Christi priest accused of sexual misconduct wants to know how the Diocese of Corpus Christi is backing up its claims against him.

Attorneys for Msgr. Michael Heras and the diocese were in court Wednesday on a 2018 court filing by Heras’ lawyer Andrew Greenwell.

In it, Heras asks for documents and possible depositions related to Heras’ “alleged ‘admission’ to child abuse and sex with a minor.” In another court filing from 2018, Hera asks for sanctions — the payment of related court fees — in response to allegations Heras admitted to the abuse.
