A new bill the governor signed into law last week will have a direct effect on district attorneys across the state who currently aren’t prosecuting certain laws.
“We have until Sept. 1, but we are already talking about doing it beforehand so that we’ll have plenty of time to educate the public about the changes that we’re making,” Gonzales said.
If a district or county attorney doesn’t prosecute new laws, anyone who has lived in the county for at least six months could file a removal petition. The petition would then be handled by a judge from a nearby county and the case could go to trial which would determine whether a district attorney would be removed from office. If that happens the governor would then appoint a replacement until the next election.
Currently, the Nueces County district attorney is awaiting his removal trial later this year after a removal petition was filed there.
