Judge Kristen Hawkins is shown during a status conference about Astroworld litigation Tuesday, March 1, 2022, in Houston.Lawyers packed a Harris County civil courtroom Tuesday morning as the judge overseeing litigation stemming from the deadly Astroworld Festival concert outlined the first steps to organize the hundreds of cases since they were consolidated late last year.

Coon, who last year requested the consolidation, expressed hopes that Hawkins lightens the gag order in the coming months.
