When Dwaine Caraway took the job as Dallas’ mayor in February, he said he would try to keep a low profile.

Caraway’s statement came shortly after he gave the key to the city to Michael Vick, a professional football player who spent time in prison for his criminal mistreatment of dogs.

Now comes Mayor Caraway’s effort to prevent public access to the recording of a 9-1-1 call he made that followed a domestic incident between himself and his wife, State Rep. Barbara Caraway.

In a legal filing to halt the release of the tape, Mayor Caraway argues that the recording contains no content that would be of interest to the public.

Unfortunately, according to Thompson & Knight attorney Jim Harris, the public positions that both the mayor and state representative hold create interest in the recording.

“Both Mr. Caraway and his wife are public figures, both have been elected, and I think that puts him in a different category than Joe the Plumber,” Harris told Fox4 News' Shaun Rabb.

Even if he’s successful in blocking public access to the 9-1-1 recording, Mayor Caraway might find that it’s hard to keep a low profile while the title “mayor” precedes his name until someone else inherits that honorific.
