The chief has been criticized for his handling of the shooting. Arredondo was sworn into a Uvalde City Council seat a week after the shooting.
Gutierrez said he was initially told he would receive a DPS report on Friday.
"DPS Director has informed me DA Christina Busbee ordered reports not be sent to me," said Roland Gutierrez on Twitter.
