AUSTIN -- State District Judge Julie Kocurek, seriously injured on Nov. 6 when she was shot in the driveway of her Tarrytown home, has been released from the hospital this week, a source told the American-Statesman on Wednesday.

Kocurek’s whereabouts remain secret as authorities are still trying to bring charges against the shooter or shooters. No other information about Kocurek’s condition was available Wednesday.

During her hospital stay, her condition fluctuated and she faced a major health setback several weeks ago when an infection stemming from shrapnel in her body caused complications.

A spokesman for the Kocurek family confirmed that she has been released from the hospital and provided no further comment.
