HB 4006 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the suspension and removal from office of a district attorney, criminal district attorney, or county attorney of a political subdivision of this state.

This bill creates a new process for suspending and removing elected district attorneys, criminal district attorneys, and county attorneys who violate their duty to follow state law. The governor may suspend an attorney for violating this duty and must file a court petition for removal within 30 days, while appointing a temporary replacement to fill the vacancy. Removal requires a jury trial in district court, where the jury must determine if the alleged violations are proven, with verdicts specifying which grounds were supported. This process applies only to prosecutors elected under Texas Constitution Article XV, Section 7.
