Marcel Notzon \ Attorney For Elsa Slaney
This is something that the attorney general initially caused all the pretrial publicity. They admitted that they sent a news publication and has caused a media frenzy in regards to this case and unfortunately has compounded the situation and has affected more people out there because she cannot do business.

The motion asks that the judge restricts the media from everything from reporting details obtained by the court to photographing Elsa Slaney during proceedings or while being transported to the court room or allowing anyone connected to the case from speaking to the media. Elsa Slaney of Collezione Decor is facing felony theft charges for allegedly scamming her customers. The business has been cited by the Texas Attorney General for deceptive trade practices and her attorney says the quote 'Media Frenzy' created from it is enough attention.
